Gaza death toll surpasses 29,500

BY A STAFF REPORTER: At least 29,514 Palestinians have been killed and 69,616 injured in Israeli strikes on Gaza since the start of the war between Hamas and Israel, the Hamas-run health ministry says.

These figures cannot be independently verified, and are believed to include both civilians and Hamas members killed in Gaza, including as a consequence of the terror groups’ own rocket misfires.

The IDF says it has killed some 12,000 operatives in Gaza, in addition to some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.
