At least 35,034 Palestinians have been killed and 78,755 injured since the start of Israel’s military offensive in Gaza sparked by the Hamas October 7 onslaught, according to figures released by the Strip’s Hamas-run health ministry says.

The figures have not been independently verified and include at least 15,000 Hamas gunmen Israel says it has killed in battle. Israel also says it killed some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.

A total of 272 IDF soldiers have been killed in the army’s Gaza ground operation.
