❌REPORTS: No civilian casualties in #Israel from #Hamas mortar attacks. ✅FACTS: 1000s of children fear Hamas terror. Countless families traumatised. No Israeli casualties?

🕯As we remember the victims of the London Bridge terror attack last year, I also remember my predecessor, Ambassador Shlomo Argov, who was shot outside the Dorchester by a Palestinian terrorist #OnThisDay in 1982. #LondonUnited

More and more sources in Gaza confirm what Salah Bardawil, Hamas official said yesterday: around 50 of the 61 Palestinians killed in Gaza on Monday, were Hamas members.
