The Palestinian death toll in the Gaza Strip from ongoing Israeli attacks has risen to 34,305, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said on Thursday.
In a press statement, the ministry said that the Israeli army killed 43 Palestinians and wounded 64 others during the past 24 hours, bringing the total death toll to 34,305 and injuries to 77,293 since the Israel-Hamas conflict broke out on Oct. 7, 2023.
The ministry added that there are still many victims trapped under the rubble, and the devastation of infrastructure has impeded the rescue teams to reach them.
Meanwhile, the Hamas-run government media office said on Thursday that a journalist was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Rafah on Thursday, bringing the number of Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza since last October to 141.
Avichay Adraee, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)'s Arabic-language spokesman, said on social platform X on Thursday that the IDF attacked more than 30 targets across the strip over the past 24 hours, including warehouses, military buildings, and other infrastructure.
Israel has been launching a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage through the southern Israeli border on Oct. 7, 2023, during which about 1,200 people were killed and more than 200 were taken hostage.
