TEL AVIV (dpa-AFX) – According to the health authority controlled by the Islamist Hamas, 187 people were killed in one day in new Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip. The authority announced on Friday that 312 Palestinians were also injured. The information could not initially be independently verified. The total number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of the war rose to 21,507. The number was last given on Thursday as 21,320. According to this information, 55,915 other people were injured in the Gaza war.
The figures cannot currently be confirmed, but the UN and other observers point out that the authority’s figures have proven to be overall credible in the past.
The war was triggered by the worst massacre in Israel’s history, carried out by terrorists from the Islamist Hamas and other extremist groups on October 7th in Israel near the border with Gaza. As a result, around 1,200 people were killed on the Israeli side, including at least 850 civilians./cir/DP/mis
