The total number of dead in the Palestinian Gaza Strip in the brutal military operation of the Israeli forces has exceeded 44 thousand. The Ministry of Health of Gaza announced this information in a statement on Thursday.
According to the statement of the Ministry of Health, a total of 44 thousand 56 people have been killed and 14 thousand 268 Palestinians have been injured in Gaza since the beginning of the operation of the Israeli forces.
And in 24 hours from Wednesday to Thursday, 71 people were killed and 176 more Palestinians were injured in Gaza by Israeli army bombs.
“But the actual death toll is much higher. Because the bodies buried under the rubble could not be recovered and were not counted.”
In 2023, fighters of Hamas, the armed political group that controls the Gaza Strip, entered Israeli territory and carried out an ambush. They fired indiscriminately and killed 1,200 people and took 242 hostages.
From that day on, Israeli forces launched an operation in Gaza to free the hostages, which is still ongoing.
The United Nations and the international community have called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the military operation in Gaza several times. A case of genocide against Israel has already been filed in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), known as the United Nations Court.
But Netanyahu has made it clear that the operation in Gaza will continue until Hamas is completely weakened and incapacitated and the hostages are freed.
