The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says that at least 37,372 people have been killed in the territory during more than eight months of war.
The toll includes at least 25 deaths in the past 24 hours, a ministry statement says, adding that a total of 85,452 people have been wounded in the Gaza Strip since the war began when Hamas attacked Israel on October 7.
The toll, which cannot be verified and does not distinguish between civilians and combatants, includes some 15,000 terror operatives Israel says it has killed in battle.
The IDF said earlier today that it continues to carry out airstrikes across the Strip against terror infrastructure.
