Hamas-Israel War: At least 232 Palestinians Killed, 1,697 Injured

The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza on Saturday revealed that at least 232 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza.

The ministry further stated that 1,697 have been wounded.

The ministry did not provide a breakdown of where the deaths occurred and if the deaths included Hamas militants or civilians in Gaza.

According to the ministry, “Medical teams are still working with all their capacity to save dozens of serious and critical cases in operating rooms and intensive care units.”

The ministry called “on humanitarian and relief institutions to work immediately to support the emergency needs of Gaza Strip hospitals.”

The deaths come after the Israel Defense Forces carried out strikes in response to an early morning surprise attack by Hamas that left an estimated 70 Israelis dead, according to Israeli authorities.
