The Hamas-run health ministry in the Gaza Strip says 256 Palestinians have been killed and another 1,788 have been wounded in the Gaza Strip.

Most of those were apparently killed in the Gaza Strip as a result of Israel’s retaliatory strikes.

The IDF said it killed hundreds of Palestinian terrorists in Israel and in strikes in Gaza.
