"The death toll from Israeli operations in the Gaza Strip since October 7 has risen to 40,972, with 94,761 injured," a health ministry spokesperson told a press briefing, whose speech was broadcast by Arab media. Over the past 24 hours, 33 people have died and 145 have been injured as a result of three Israeli attacks on civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, the spokesperson said. On October 7, 2023, Israel was subjected to an unprecedented rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. In addition, fighters from Palestinian movement Hamas infiltrated the border areas, opened fire on the military and civilians, and took hostages. Israeli authorities say that about 1,200 people were killed during the raid. The Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip and announced a complete blockade of the enclave.
