At least 60 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours as a result of Israeli airstrikes, Palestinian reports said on Saturday.
The Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health also said that 284 people were injured during the same period. The ministry does not differentiate between combatants and civilians.
The information could not be independently verified.
According to the ministry, the current figures do not include the victims registered in hospitals in the north of the war-torn coastal strip, where access remains restricted due to the ongoing fighting.
The Israeli military has not yet commented on the most recent attack reports from Gaza.
According to Palestinian figures, more than 54,300 people have been killed and more than 124,000 have been injured since the beginning of the Gaza war, which was triggered by the unprecedented Hamas-led terrorist attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023.
Two weeks ago, the Israeli military launched a new major offensive in Gaza. Dozens of deaths have been reported every day in the past few days.
Israel’s declared aim is to destroy the Palestinian Islamist militia Hamas and free the hostages still being held by them in the Gaza Strip. Israel’s actions have been criticized internationally.
