The Hama-run Gaza health ministry says the Palestinian death toll in the Strip has reached 30,960.
These figures cannot be independently verified, do not differentiate between civilians and combatants and also include hundreds killed by the terror group’s own misfired rockets. The IDF says it has killed more than 13,000 Hamas terrorists in battle. Israel also says it killed some 1,000 gunmen inside Israel on October 7.
