The Gaza Health Ministry has reported a significant number of casualties in the most recent 24-hour reporting period due to Israeli operations. According to the ministry, 57 people were killed and 82 others were injured in these attacks.
Since the Hamas attack in Israel on October 7, the ministry stated that a total of 35,091 individuals have been killed in Gaza as a result of Israeli attacks, with 78,827 people sustaining injuries. It is important to note that these figures do not differentiate between casualties among fighters and civilians, and there are concerns about several thousand people who are missing in Gaza since the October 7 incident.
The high number of civilian casualties in Israel's military operation has sparked international condemnation and raised concerns among the country's allies. In response to the situation, the United States has decided to pause the shipment of “high-payload munitions” to the Israeli military. This decision comes as Israeli officials indicate plans for a wider-scale operation in the southern city of Rafah.
The situation in Gaza remains tense, with ongoing violence leading to a significant loss of life and injuries. The international community continues to monitor the developments closely and calls for a peaceful resolution to the conflict to prevent further loss of civilian lives.
