06 August 2022; MEMO: The Palestinian presidency condemned Israel's aggression against the Gaza Strip on Friday and demanded its immediate cessation, holding the occupying forces responsible for the dangerous escalation.
In a statement, the presidency called on the international community to force Israel to:"Stop its aggression against our people everywhere, specifically in Gaza, and to provide them with international protection."
At least ten citizens, including the senior leader of Al-Quds Brigades, Islamic Jihad's military wing, Tayseer Al-Jaabari, were martyred, while 65 were wounded on Friday in intense Israeli bombings on the Gaza Strip.
