The confirmed body count in Gaza now stands at 1,010, according to Reuters.
At least 10 people, including at least four militants, were killed on Wednesday, medics said. Bodies were also retrieved from past attacks. It took the total death toll to 1,010, said Muawiyah Hassanein, head of the ministry's ambulance service.
The Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human Rights said it had compiled figures showing 673 civilians had died since Israel launched its air campaign on Dec. 27. These included 225 children and 69 women. Earlier this week, the health ministry said about 400 women and children were among the dead.
More than half Gaza's 1.5 million people are aged under 18.

... and The Lancet blasts Israeli 'atrocities' in Gaza. This is really bad!
And this is why I think the attacks in Gaza are a bad idea*. This only serves to push more Palestinians toward extremist groups like Hamas.

Yes despite my support for Israel, I don't think this attack will accomplish anything, and could likely end up strengthening Hamas.
