TEHRAN, Oct. 16 (MNA) – The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) reports the increase in the number of journalists killed and injured in the Gaza Strip as a result of Israel's bombardment and shootings.

So far, 11 Palestinian journalists have lost their lives in the Israeli regime's bombing of Gaza, more than 20 others have been injured, and two journalists have gone missing, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said in a statement.

Today Gaza health-based ministry announced that the bodies of at least 1,000 Palestinian martyrs still are under the debris of the bombarded houses, and rescue forces could not take them out. 

The Gaza Health Ministry said 2,750 Palestinians have been killed and 9,700 wounded.

More than 1,400 Israelis have been killed, and 199 others, were captured by Hamas and taken into Gaza, according to Israel.

Palestinian Resistance fighters launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against the positions of the Israeli regime in the occupied territories last Saturday morning, October 7, from the Gaza Strip, which shocked the regime, because such an inclusive and unprecedented operation occurred for the first time in 75 years of the Israeli occupation of Palestine.

The operation entered its 10th day with the Israeli regime getting disappointed against the Palestinian resistance forces thus resorting to hitting civilians and their houses in Gaza with fighter jets.
