Palestinian death toll from Israeli attacks on Gaza rises to 3000

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that the death toll of the Israeli bombing of Gaza had risen to about 3,000 dead and more than 12,000 injured.

An updated statement by the Palestinian Ministry of Health stated that the toll had risen to “about 3,000 martyrs and more than 12,500 wounded.”

The statement added that the toll in the West Bank reached 61 martyrs and more than 1,250 wounded.

The escalation between the Palestinian Hamas movement and the Israeli forces continues after the movement launched, at dawn on Saturday, October 7, the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation, in which thousands of rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip at Israel, and its forces stormed Israeli settlements adjacent to the Gaza Strip, and captured a large number of Israelis.

Israel responded by launching Operation Iron Swords, threatening Hamas to pay a heavy price for its attack.
