At least 37,877 Palestinians have been killed since the start of Israel’s military offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the enclave’s Hamas-run health ministry says.
The figures cannot be independently verified and include at least 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.
The IDF says 318 troops have been killed during the ground offensive against Hamas and amid operations along the Gaza border. The toll includes a police officer killed in a hostage rescue mission. A civilian Defense Ministry contractor has also been killed in the Strip.
