Israel kills 40 more Palestinians in Gaza
ISTANBUL (AA) – At least 40 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, pushing the overall death toll since last Oct. 7 to 40,134, Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Monday.
A ministry statement added that some 92,743 other people have been injured in the ongoing deadly attacks.
“Israeli forces killed 40 people and injured 134 others in three massacres of families in 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.
Israel has continued its war on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023 following a Hamas attack despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.
After more than 10 months of Israeli attacks, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine.
Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice.
