Israel’s military offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip has killed at least 34,012 Palestinians and injured 76,833 others since October 7, the enclave’s Hamas-run health ministry says.
The figures cannot be independently verified and include some 13,000 Hamas gunmen Israel says it has killed in battle. Israel also says it killed some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.
Two hundred and sixty IDF soldiers have been killed in the army’s Gaza ground operation.
