The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says the war death toll has climbed to 23,084 people, while the injury toll has risen to 58,926 injured.
The ministry does not differentiate between Palestinian civilians and combatants and includes those killed by errant rockets launched by terror groups in Gaza.
Israel said last week that it has killed 8,500 Palestinian terrorists, since launching its war to topple Hamas in response to the terror group’s October 7 onslaught during which some 1,200 people were massacred and roughly 240 were taken hostage.
