The Gaza Government Media Office said Israel was systematically targeting civilians in Gaza as part of what it called a "war of extermination" against Palestinians, Al Jazeera reported.

The office said Israeli forces had killed 18,000 children, 12,400 women, 1,400 medics, 212 journalists and 750 security personnel who had been guarding aid convoys.
