The Palestinian death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen to 62,819, with 158,629 others injured since the conflict between Hamas and Israel erupted on October 7, 2023, Gaza's health authorities said in a statement on Tuesday.

Over the past 24 hours, hospitals in the enclave recorded 75 deaths and 370 injuries, the statement said.

In the central West Bank city of Ramallah, 58 Palestinians were injured on Tuesday when Israeli soldiers and border police raided a currency exchange business in the center of the city, according to the WAFA News Agency.

In a statement released later on Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said five wanted individuals had been taken into Israeli custody and hundreds of thousands of shekels had been confiscated from the currency exchange, which Israel said had been transferring funds to Hamas.
