Gaza: According to a spokesperson for the Gaza Health Ministry, Khalil Al-Dakran, Israeli airstrikes in Gaza over the past 72 hours, starting from Tuesday, have resulted in the deaths of at least 710 Palestinians and injuries to 900 others. Many of the victims, despite being seriously injured, succumbed to their wounds due to a lack of essential medical equipment and medicines.

Al-Dakran further reported that nearly 70% of the injured were women and children, and most of their injuries were severe. Israeli airstrikes have intensified across Gaza, especially during the early morning hours, with 11 residential buildings completely destroyed in Khan Yunis, Rafah, and Beit Lahiya.

Among those killed in the Israeli attacks were a newborn, children, women, and seven family members. The Gaza Health Ministry stated that the death toll has now risen to 49,547, with 112,719 injured. According to the Gaza government’s media office, the death toll has exceeded 61,700, and thousands of Palestinians are believed to be buried under rubble, with most assumed to be dead.

In retaliation for Hamas’s attack on October 7, 2023, Israel suffered 1,139 deaths and over 200 people were taken captive.
