Israel launched its bombing campaign against Hamas – which Israel, the United Kingdom, United States and other powers class as a terrorist organisation – in response to an unprecedented cross-border attack on 7 October in which at least 1,400 people were killed and 222 others were taken hostage.
“Nearly 5,800 people have been killed in Gaza since then,” the health ministry informed.
Intense Israeli airstrikes overnight hit hundreds of locations across Gaza.
Some of those killed in the southern cities of Khan Younis and Rafah were displaced people who had fled the north in response to an Israeli military order to evacuate the area for their own safety, local officials said.
