The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says the bodies of 133 people killed in Israeli strikes have been brought to hospitals in the war-wrecked territory over the past day.
Hospitals also received 162 wounded patients, the ministry says.
The fresh fatalities brought the death toll in Gaza to 28,473 since the war began with Hamas’s murderous onslaught on Oct. 7, according to the ministry.
The figure, which can’t be independently verified, doesn’t differentiate between civilians and the 10,000-plus Hamas fighters Israel says it has killed during the fighting in Gaza.
