According to a BBC report, Israeli occupying forces bombed 25 sites in the Gaza Strip in the early hours of June 20, 2018. Gaza health authorities report that over 130 Palestinians have been killed and 15,000 have been wounded by Israeli forces during this period. Human rights organizations have condemned Israeli troops for employing disproportionate force.
