According to an updated casualty toll provided by Palestinian medics and security officials, the conflicts have left 28 Palestin, including 15 civil, dead after another two were killed on Thursday afternoon in the town of Abassan, Xinhua news agency reported.
The two freshly killed were members of a minor group called Al-Mujahidin Brigades, a member of the joint chamber of military operations of the Palestinian factions.
