Hamas says Gaza death toll at 28,858
The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says the Palestinian death toll in the war in the Strip has reached 28,858.
These figures 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 nearly 11,000 operatives in Gaza, in addition to some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.
