The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says the Palestinian death toll since the terror group launched its October 7 attack on Israel now stands at 39,699.

The figure cannot be independently verified and includes more than 15,000 Hamas gunmen Israel says it has killed in battle. Israel also says it killed some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.
