GAZA CITY
Two Palestinian bodies were retrieved from under rubble in the central Gaza Strip on Saturday.
"Medics recovered the two bodies from under the rubble of a mosque struck by Israeli fighter jets in al-Nusairat refugee camp on Saturday," Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qodra told Anadolu Agency.
This brought to 1900 the number of Palestinians killed in relentless Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since July 7. More than 9800 Palestinians have also been injured.
Violence flared up in the Palestinian territories on Friday as soon as a three-day ceasefire between Israel and Gaza-based Palestinian factions expired.
Israel claims that the offensive aims at undermining the ability of Palestinian rockets to fire rockets.
At least 64 Israeli soldiers have also been killed in battles with Palestinian fighters in the Gaza Strip and three civilians by rocket fire, according to Israeli figures.
