The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says the Palestinian death toll in the Strip has reached at least 31,341.
A ministry statement adds that 73,134 people have been wounded in Gaza since the war began on October 7, sparked by Hamas’s brutal massacre in southern Israel.
The figures issued by the Hamas-run health 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 13,000 operatives in Gaza, in addition to some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.
