‘피의 성탄절' 가자지구 공습에 하루새 250명 사망 Israel intensified its attacks in Gaza even on Christmas Day, with some 250 Palestinians killed in a 24 hour period. Israel's finance ministry is expecting the armed conflict to last another two months, at a further cost of 14 billion U.S. dollars. Lee Seung-jae reports. Israel on Monday intensified its attack in Gaza, killing more than one hundred people at the Maghazi refugee camp, with Palestinian authorities saying some 250 Palestinians have been killed over the past 24 hours. Christmas Eve in Gaza was also marred by heavy bombardments from the Israeli military, in its continued fight against Hamas which led to the levelling of buildings, and injuries to over 500 people. With temperatures dropping and poor weather conditions, Palestinian refugees are struggling to keep themselves warm during the winter season. The New York Times reported on Sunday, that frigid winter conditions combined with rain have left tents utterly useless, with many seen only with thin blankets to keep themselves warm. The Israeli finance ministry, believes the armed conflict between its military and Hamas will last at least another two months. It said another 14 billion U.S. dollars will be needed for security and other expenses for next year, meaning the near-tripling of its budget deficit. However, the ministry's deputy budget commissioner raised the possibility that the conflict with the Palestinian militant group could stretch further, resulting in even more money being spent on the armed conflict. Meanwhile, according to the Wall Street Journal on Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said there are three prerequisites for peace. The elimination of Hamas, the demilitarization of Gaza and the Palestinian society being deradicalized. He said that in the process of achieving peace, Israel will continue to act in full compliance with international law.
