At least 34,151 Palestinians have been killed and 77,084 others have been injured since the start of Israel’s military offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, 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 during the ground operation.
