The Palestinian death toll from Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip rose to 48 after an 11-year-old Palestinian girl succumbed to injuries, she sustained during the attacks, on Thursday morning.
Medical sources affirmed that Lian Al-Shaer suffered serious head injuries after being hit by a shrapnel while she was playing with her friends on Gaza beach.
Lian underwent a medical surgery on her head at Al-Makassed Hospital in occupied Jerusalem, where she was pronounced dead.
The occupation forces have launched a three-day aggression on the Gaza Strip starting last Friday evening, leaving 48 Palestinian citizens killed, and 360 others wounded, in addition to vast material damage.
16 Palestinian children and four women were among the reported victims.
On Sunday evening, a ceasefire has come into effect in the besieged enclave at 23:30 local time (20:30 GMT), after talks moderated by Egyptian mediators.
Gaza Civil Defence affirmed that more than 1675 housing units were damaged during the three-day aggression, of which 89 were completely destroyed.
“The Israeli occupation destroyed several buildings over the heads of the residents in the Al-Shout neighbourhood in Rafah, on Saturday evening, violating all international humanitarian laws and conventions,” the Civil Defence said.
