At least 119 Palestinians, including 31 children and 19 women, have been killed in the recent clashes, and more than 830 were wounded, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The Israeli military believes somewhere between 80 and 90 of those were militants. Eight have been killed in Israel, including six civilians, Israeli officials said.
Israel used artillery fire and airstrikes to target a network of Hamas tunnels on Friday to try to stop the persistent attacks. Health officials in Gaza say 13 Palestinians were killed in the 40-minute, pre-dawn offensive. The violence has now spread to other cities. Health officials say 10 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank Friday in clashes between protesters and Israeli security forces, including one who the Israeli military said was attempting to stab a soldier.
In addition to the U.S., diplomats in the Middle East have been trying to mediate peace discussions between both sides."The talks have taken a real and serious path on Friday," an official told Reuters."The mediators from Egypt, Qatar and the United Nations are stepping up their contacts with all sides in a bid to restore calm, but a deal hasn't yet been reached."
