GAZA/JERUSALEM, Oct 24 (Reuters) - More than 700 Palestinians were killed in overnight Israeli air strikes, Gaza’s health ministry said on Tuesday, the highest 24-hour death toll since Israel began a bombing campaign to crush Hamas militants who stunned the country with a deadly Oct. 7 attack.

Israel said it had killed dozens of Hamas fighters in the overnight strikes on the besieged enclave but said its war to destroy the Islamist group would take time.

As aid agencies warned that a humanitarian catastrophe was unfolding in Gaza, French President Emmanuel Macron flew to Israel to offer it support.

    What a nonsense. Are those the same “doctors” who held a press conference among bodies on that destroyed parking lot that was supposed to be a “destroyed hospital”? They report whatever Hamas tells them to. There is no shock on my side - I’m sure many people have been killed and injured but reporting any number other than “many” is unverifiable BS.
