Israel Kills 39 More Palestinians in Gaza, Death Toll Tops 43,500

Nearly 102,700 Palestinians injured in Israeli onslaught since Oct. 7, 2023, Gaza’s Health Ministry says

GAZA — At least 39 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, bringing the overall death toll since last year to 43,508, the Health Ministry in the enclave said on Friday.

A ministry statement added that some 102,684 others were injured in the ongoing assault.

“Israeli forces killed 39 people and injured 123 others in three massacres of families over the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.

“Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.

Flouting a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire, Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since an attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023.

The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine.

Mediation efforts led by the US, Egypt, and Qatar to reach a Gaza cease-fire and prisoner swap agreement between Israel and Hamas have failed over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s refusal to halt the war.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza. — AA
