At least 34,789 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the start of the war sparked by Hamas’s October 7 onslaught, the Hamas-run health ministry in the Strip says.
The figures cannot be independently verified and include at least 13,000 Hamas gunmen Israel says it has killed in battle. Israel also says it killed some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.
Two hundred and sixty-seven soldiers have been killed during the ground offensive against Hamas and amid operations along the Gaza border.
