ArmInfo. There are no Armenian citizens or Armenians among those injured in the fighting around the Gaza Strip. Spokesperson of the Armenian Foreign Ministry Ani Badalyan said in response to Arminfo's request to clarify whether the Armenian Foreign Ministry has data on those killed or wounded over the current developments around Gaza Strip.

Earlier it also became known that the Armenian side is considering  the possibility of removing citizens of Armenia and Armenians who  express a desire to leave Israel.

"The RA Embassy in Israel asks Armenian citizens in Israel who wish  to return to Armenia to send a copy of their passport and, if  available, a coupon confirming entry into Israel to the embassy's  email address [email protected]. The diplomatic mission is  ready to include in the list also persons of Armenian origin, but who  do not have RA citizenship. "Information about flights will be  provided additionally," the RA Embassy said in a statement.

On the morning of October 7, the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas  attacked Israel. It announced the start of the "Al-Aqsa Storm"  military operation and began a massive rocket attack. In addition,  members of the movement penetrated into the border areas of Israel.  Fighting in Israel broke out on the 50th anniversary of the Yom  Kippur War, Israel's worst military clash with Arab countries since  the War of Independence.  The Yom Kippur War began on October 6,  1973, with a joint surprise attack by the Arab coalition on Israeli  positions. Hamas launched the attack from the territory of the Gaza  Strip, which it de facto controls.  This sector borders the  southwestern part of Israel. Israel accuses the movement of  terrorism, which threatens security. After the attack, it launched  the counter-terrorism Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip. There  are hundreds of dead and thousands of wounded on both sides,  including civilians.
