The Hamas-run health ministry in the Gaza Strip says 24,762 people have been killed inside the enclave since the start of the war with Israel.
The toll includes 142 fatalities over the past 24 hours, a ministry statement says, while 62,108 people have been wounded since war erupted on October 7, the ministry says.
The numbers provided by the Hamas-run 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 9,000 operatives in Gaza, in addition to some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.
