At least 35,709 Palestinians have been killed and 79,990 injured in Israel’s military offensive on Gaza since October 7, the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says in a statement.
These figures have not be verified and only some 25,000 fatalities have been identified at hospitals. The tolls include some 15,000 terror operatives Israel says it has killed in battle. Israel also says it killed some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.
