JERUSALEM: Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip overnight and into Tuesday killed at least 25 people, including eight children and five women, according to Palestinian medics.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said the bodies of 58 people killed by Israeli strikes have been brought to hospitals over the past 24 hours. Hospitals also received 213 wounded, the ministry said in its daily report on Tuesday.
The overall Palestinian death toll in the war rose to at least 50,810 since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, the ministry said.
Another 115,688 people have been wounded, it said.
It said the dead include 1,499 who have been killed since Israel resumed the war last month, shattering a ceasefire that had taken hold in January.
Israel ended a ceasefire with Hamas in March and has cut off all food, fuel and humanitarian aid to Gaza — a tactic that rights groups say is a war crime — while issuing displacement orders that have forced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee Israeli bombardments and ground operations.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian woman in the occupied West Bank who they said had thrown rocks at them and tried to stab them.
No Israeli soldiers were wounded in Tuesday’s incident, which occurred at a traffic junction near an Israeli settlement.
The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the woman as Amana Yacoub, 30, from the nearby town of Salfit.
Since the start of the Gaza war in October 2023, violence has soared in the occupied West Bank. Israeli troops and settlers have killed at least 918 Palestinians in the territory, according to health ministry figures.
Palestinian attacks and clashes during military raids have killed at least 33 Israelis, including soldiers, over the same period, according to Israeli figures.
A Palestinian photojournalist who was wounded in an Israeli strike on a media tent outside of a hospital has died.
Ahmed Mansour suffered severe burns in the strike early Monday, according to Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis.
The strike killed two other people, including another journalist, and wounded another five reporters.
