Another 36 of the new coronavirus has been detected in the Gaza Strip, reports the Hamas-led Gaza Ministry of Health.
Gaza has 182 active infections. While 37 cases were put under control when they arrived in the Gaza Strip at designated quarantine centres, the remaining 145 infections were discovered in residential spaces in the following week.
Hamas fitness officials have warned that if the number of active infections exceeds 2000, the number of cases can overcome the fragile fitness formula of the coastal enclave, which has already been weakened through repeated wars and 15 years of Israeli-Egyptian blockade. The blockade aims to prevent weapons from reaching Gaza and being used through local terrorist groups, of which Hamas is the largest.
The Hamas Interior Ministry lasted a total of 48 overtime hours. The closure was announced Monday night, when the first cases were discovered in residential areas.

Hezbollah-affiliated broadcaster Al-Mayadeen transmits photographs that appear to be a doll of an IDF soldier displaced through a robot device along the border fence between Israel and Lebanon.
The video shows the moving doll before being enveloped by smoke from smoke grenades thrown from the Israeli side of the fence, while a pair of IDF tanks are parked next door.
Al-Mayadeen claims that the style was an Israeli ploy to make Hezbollah a genuine target.
Hezbollah has promised to avenge the death of one of its fighters, killed in an airstrike on the outskirts of Damascus on 20 July attributed to Israel, exacerbating tensions along the border.
On Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces said Hezbollah snipers fired on Israeli troops operating near an Israeli network along the border, prompting Israeli airstrikes on various posts in the terrorist group.

Qatar’s envoy, Mohammad al-Emadi, is back in southern Gaza, confirms al-Resalah, linked to Hamas, after a fast at the Erez border crossing.
His return to the Hamas-led enclave comes after he reportedly met with Israeli security officials to discuss the terrorist group’s offers to end the recent violence emanating from the Gaza Strip.
Prior to the weekly open-air anti-Netanyahu demonstration at the prime minister’s apartment in Jerusalem, police said there had been social media calls over clashes with police officers during the demonstration.
Protest organization Black Flag rejects the police and calls it “ridiculous” and accuses Jerusalem’s police forces of not resisting pressure from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Public Security Minister Amir Ohana.
“We are here to explain that there are no extremist voices asking [people] to harm the police or the riots. There are voices calling for Netanyahu’s removal as prime minister. Israeli police are beginning to protect the protesters and not the corrupt,” he added. said the organization.
Some protesters have already begun to gather at the Prime Minister and small demonstrations opposed to Netanyahu are taking up positions in overpasses and road crossings throughout Israel.
Police have closed several roads in Jerusalem around Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s official advance of another night of protests against the prime minister.
It will be the eleventh consecutive week that protests are being held over the corruption rate and control of the coronavirus pandemic.
The protests are also expected to take place near Netanyahu’s home in the coastal city of Caesarea and at overpasses and road crossings throughout Israel.
