Palestinian Death Toll in Gaza Surpasses 73,000 Amid Ongoing Israeli Strikes
The Gaza Health Ministry reports that the Palestinian death toll in the Israel-Hamas conflict has exceeded 73,000, with over 173,200 wounded since the war began on October 7, 2023. Despite a fragile ceasefire brokered in October 2025, Israeli strikes have continued, resulting in nearly 1,000 deaths since the truce. The ministry, part of the Hamas-led government, does not specify civilian or militant casualties but notes women and children constitute about half of the fatalities. Israel states it targets militants and attributes civilian deaths to Hamas operating in populated areas.
