Hamas-run health ministry says Gaza death toll nears 28,000
A total of 27,947 Palestinians have been killed and 67,459 have been injured in Israeli strikes on Gaza since October 7, the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says.
Some 107 Palestinians were killed and 142 injured in the past 24 hours, it adds.
The figures provided by the health ministry cannot be independently verified and are believed to include both civilians and Hamas members killed in Gaza, including as a consequence of terror groups’ own rocket misfires.
The IDF says it has killed over 10,000 operatives in Gaza, in addition to some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.
