The Hamas-run health ministry in the Gaza Strip says 70 Palestinians were killed and 104 were wounded by Israeli strikes in the past day.

The ministry says the death toll since the war began on October 7, 2023, has now risen to over 46,000.

The terror group’s figures are unverified and don’t differentiate between civilians and combatants. Israel says it has killed some 18,000 combatants in battle as of November and another 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.
