Palestinian death toll from Israeli attacks in Gaza rises to 46,006

The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has risen to 46,006, with 109,378 others injured, the Gaza-based health ministry said in a statement on Thursday.

In the past 24 hours alone, at least 70 people have been killed and 104 injured in the enclave, according to the statement.

Palestinian authorities reported that Israeli airstrikes on multiple locations across Gaza on Thursday led to dozens of casualties. One attack targeted a school in the Jabalia area in northern Gaza, killing four people, including a child and a woman, and injuring at least 25 others. Another airstrike in central Gaza resulted in the deaths of four people, including three children, and left many more wounded.

Additionally, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) set dozens of homes ablaze in northern Gaza on Thursday, igniting widespread fires across several areas.

The Palestinian official news agency WAFA cited a statement from the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), noting that at least 74 children have been killed in various attacks in Gaza since the beginning of 2025.

Meanwhile, the IDF reported that their recent airstrikes have killed several Hamas commanders, claiming these people were responsible for planning and launching attacks against Israel.

The death toll in the war-torn Gaza Strip has risen to 71,412 since the conflict between Hamas and Israel erupted on Oct 7, 2023, with the number of injuries reaching 171,314, Gaza's health authorities said on Sunday.

In the last 48 hours, hospitals in Gaza received three bodies along with nine new injuries, according to health authorities.

Since the ceasefire agreement took effect on Oct 11, 2025, Israeli attacks have killed 442 people and wounded 1,236 others, said the authorities.
