The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says 40 people were killed in the Strip over the past day, bringing the Palestinian toll in the war to 36,479.

The toll cannot be verified and only some 24,000 fatalities have been identified at hospitals. It includes 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.
