Gazan health officials say the death toll in Gaza has topped 1,000, witrh the recovery of nearly 150 bodies from rubble on Saturday.
Gaza emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra puts the death toll at 1,047 in 19 days of fighting, with more than 6,000 wounded, according to The Associated Press.
Hundreds of those are Hamas fighters, according to Israel, though the UN has said 80 percent of Gaza’s fatalities are civilian.
During the day 147 bodies were pulled from rubble during a break in fighting, according to Hamas.
Forty-five people have been killed on the Israeli side, including 42 soldiers, two Israeli civilians and a Thai national. Hundreds more have been wounded in fighting and indiscriminate rocket fire.
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.
