Palestinian death toll in Gaza rose to 35,562: Health Ministry
The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has risen to 35,562, Gaza health authorities said in a statement on Monday.
During the past 24 hours, the Israeli army killed 106 Palestinians and wounded 176 others, bringing the total death toll to 35,562 and injuries to 79,652 since the Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out in October 2023.
The statement noted that some victims remained under the rubble amid heavy bombardment and a lack of rescue crews.
Israel launched a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage through the southern Israeli border on October 7, 2023.
This happened when about 1,200 people were killed, and around 250 were taken hostage.
