The Hamas-run health ministry in the Gaza Strip says that 78 people were killed and 104 were wounded over the past 24 hours in Israeli strikes on different areas across the territory.
The latest figures raise the total Gaza death toll to 30,878 since the Israel-Hamas war started five months ago, according to the ministry. The overall number of wounded rose to 72,402.
Though these figures cannot be independently verified, and do not differentiate between combatants and civilians, including those killed as a consequence of the terror group’s rocket misfires. The IDF says it has killed over 13,000 operatives in Gaza, in addition to some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, known by the acronym UNRWA, says that about 9,000 women have been killed in Gaza over the past five months.
Some 1,200 people were killed on October 7, most of them civilians, amid scenes of horrific brutality, and 253 others were dragged to Gaza as hostages.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
