The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced Monday that the Palestinian death toll has risen to 33,207 as a result of ongoing Israeli attacks.
During the past 24 hours, the Israeli army killed 32 Palestinians and wounded 47 others, bringing the total death toll to 33,207 and injuries to 75,933 since the Israel-Hamas conflict broke out on Oct. 7, 2023, said the ministry in a statement.
Meanwhile, at least 67 bodies have been recovered in the southern Khan Younis city since the Israeli army withdrew from southern Gaza, according to the state-run Palestine TV.
Israel launched a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage through southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, during which about 1,200 people were killed and more than 200 were taken hostage.
