More than 15,500 people have been killed in Gaza since October 7, according to the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health.

The Israeli military attack on Gaza, which began on October 7 after an attack by Hamas militants against Israel that killed more than 1,200 people, left more than 15,500 people dead in the Strip. Ashraf Al-Qudra, spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, also reported that Hamas – an organization considered terrorist by the European Union and the United States that controls… De facto Strip since 2007 – The Israeli army has killed 15,523 Palestinians and wounded 41,316 since then, according to AFP.

In the past few hours, the death toll in the Palestinian enclave rose to 316. Earlier, in the morning, the announced figure was more than 700 over the past 24 hours, according to a spokesman for the Hamas-controlled local government. This was in statements to Al Jazeera Network.

In recent hours, the Israeli armed forces bombed hundreds of what they consider “military targets” in the Strip, in its north and south. About 1.7 million of the 2.3 million people living in Gaza now reside in the southern region, one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

Among the areas bombed by Israeli aircraft in recent hours was Jabalia refugee camp (north), according to what a Ministry of Health spokesman announced. According to him, the Israeli attack on the camp – which was bombed on other occasions – led to the death of several people and the injury of dozens (he did not specify the number). Pictures broadcast by the Qatari Al Jazeera channel show a column of smoke in the square, as well as a group of people, including a child, covered in gray dust among the rubble of buildings.
