Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Hamas-controlled health ministry in the Gaza Strip says the death toll in the war there has risen to 40,534.
The toll includes 58 deaths in the previous 24 hours, according to ministry figures, which cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and combatants. Israel says it has killed at least 17,000 Hamas-led operatives in the Strip, as well as another 1,000 killed inside Israel during the October 7 attack.
