A total of 24,100 Palestinians have been killed and 60,834 have been injured since the start of Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza, the Hamas-run health ministry says.

It adds that some 132 Palestinians were killed and 252 injured in the past 24 hours.

The figures provided by the health ministry cannot be independently verified, and are believed to include both civilians and Hamas fighters killed in Gaza, including as a consequence of terror groups’ own rocket misfires.

The IDF says it has killed over 9,000 operatives in Gaza, in addition to some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.
