July a Very Deadly Month in Palestinian Territory

[Ed. note: Update: The Middle East Times says eight, not four, Palestinians were killed in the IDF air strikes over Rafah in the Gaza Strip.]

From the International Middle East Media Center:

Gaza's health and environment statistics are reaching record lows. The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that Israeli forces killed 177 Palestinians in military operations during the month of July. This figure represents a 222 percent rise in the number of deaths in June. The number of injured in the attacks in July was 1,010, representing a 317 percent rise from the previous month.

Meanwhile, four Palestinians, including two teenage brothers, were killed over night in Israeli air strikes in Rafah.
