How many people killed in Gaza Strip since Oct 2023?
Since the beginning of the operation in the Gaza Strip in October 2023, the Israeli army has killed almost 39,700 people, and about 91,700 were injured.
"The number of deaths in Gaza since October 2023 has risen to 39,677, with another 91,645 people injured," the Strip's Health Ministry said in a report, Caliber.Az reports, citing foreign media.
The Gaza Health Ministry noted that "over the past 24 hours, as a result of shelling and air attacks by Israeli forces in various areas of Gaza, 24 Palestinians were killed and 110 were injured."
Across many attack sites, Palestinian fighters fired directly at civilians, often at close range, as they tried to flee, and at people driving through the area. The attackers hurled grenades, shot into shelters, and fired rocket-propelled grenades at homes. They set houses on fire, burning and choking people, and forcing out others whom they shot or captured. They took dozens hostage and summarily killed others.
