At least 4,385 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of the Israel-Hmas war, including 1,756 children, the Hamas-controlled health ministry says.
The ministry says another 13,561 people had been wounded.
The numbers, which can’t be verified, do not differentiate between civilians and terrorists. They also include Palestinians killed in IDF strikes on the Strip and terror rockets fired at Israel that fall short.
In addition, Israel says it killed some 1,500 terrorists inside Israeli territory after Hamas launched its deadly October 7 assault, killing some 1,400 people and taking an estimated 210 hostages.
