The authorities of the Gaza Strip, controlled by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), increased this Saturday to more than 30,300 the Palestinian death toll due to Israel’s military offensive against the enclave following the October 7 attacks by the Islamist group.
Gaza’s Health Ministry stated that “the tally of the aggression has risen to 30,320 martyrs and 71,533 wounded,” before stating that 92 “martyrs” and 156 wounded were confirmed in the last day.
“In the last 24 hours, the Israeli occupation has carried out ten massacres of families in the Gaza Strip,” he noted, denouncing that many victims “remain under the rubble and on the streets.” “The occupation prevents ambulances and civil defense teams from reaching them,” he complained.
Israel launched its offensive against the enclave following the aforementioned Hamas attacks in which 1,200 people died and 240 were kidnapped. These deaths are in addition to more than 400 Palestinians killed in the West Bank and East Jerusalem by Israeli security forces and in settler attacks.
