At least 70 more Palestinians were killed in relentless Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, bringing the overall death toll since October 2023 to 46,006, the Health Ministry in the besieged enclave said in a statement on Thursday.
The ministry statement announced that some 109,378 others were injured in the ongoing assault.
“Israeli forces killed 70 people and injured 104 others in three massacres of families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry added.
“Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” the statement read.
Israel has continued a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since a Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023, despite a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.
The second year of genocide in Gaza has drawn growing international condemnation, with officials and institutions labeling the attacks and blocking of aid deliveries as a deliberate attempt to destroy a population.
In November 2024, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its deadly war on Gaza.
