23 bodies pulled from rubble in Gaza: Medics

At least 23 bodies were pulled from the rubble in Gaza City and its environs on Friday after a day that saw heavy clashes between Israeli troops and Hamas fighters, Gaza medics said.



Most of the bodies were found in the rubble in Tal Al-Hawa, a southwestern neighbourhood of Gaza City, after Israeli tanks pulled out of the area in the pre-dawn hours, the medics said.



Since Israel unleashed Operation Cast Lead on December 27, at least 1,133 Palestinians have been killed and another 5,130 wounded, according to Gaza medics. Some 600 of the victims have been civilians, including 355 children, they say.
