Dozens of Palestinians have again been killed in fighting and Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, according to the Hamas-controlled Health Ministry.

In the last 24 hours, 83 Palestinians were killed and 125 others were injured, the authority announced on Saturday.

This brings the number of Palestinians killed since the start of the war on October 7 to 28,858, with around 68,700 others injured. The information could not initially be independently verified.

According to UN estimates, the majority of those killed were women and minors.

Israeli Chief of General Staff Herzi Halevi recently said that the army had “eliminated more than 10,000 terrorists in the Gaza Strip so far, including many commanders.”
