GAZA: The death toll of Palestinians from Israeli military strikes on the Gaza Strip has risen to 7,703, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said on Saturday.
So far, 19,743 Palestinians have been injured since the fighting broke out, the ministry said in a statement.
Israel has launched massive airstrikes and ground operations against Gaza in retaliation for a surprise attack by Gaza-ruling Hamas militants on Israeli military targets and towns on Oct. 7, which has killed at least 1,400 people in Israel.
