The death toll from Israel’s more than two-year assault on Gaza surpassed 70,000 Palestinians over the weekend, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Al Jazeera is reporting that Israeli drones dropped a bomb near al-Farabi School Saturday morning, killing two brothers, Juma and Fadi Tamer Abu Assi. On Sunday, three more Palestinians were killed and two others injured in Israeli attacks, raising the death toll to 356 since the U.S.-brokered ceasefire went into effect on October 10. Meanwhile, Israel returned 15 more Palestinian bodies to Gaza as part of the first phase of the ceasefire deal. This comes as Israeli forces claim to have killed 40 Hamas fighters in southern Gaza over the past 40 days.
