Israeli assault on Gaza kills 40, injures 73 in past 24 hours
The Gaza Strip’s health ministry reported on Thursday that Israeli attacks over the past 24 hours have killed 40 Palestinians and injured 73 others, with hospitals receiving the bodies and treating the wounded amid relentless bombardment.
The latest wave of violence is part of Israel’s ongoing genocidal war on Gaza, which resumed with intensified aggression on March 18, 2025.
Since March 18, the Israeli occupation army’s campaign has claimed the lives of 1,691 Palestinians and injured 4,464 others, according to the ministry. The cumulative toll since the war began on October 7, 2023, now stands at a staggering 51,065 martyrs and 116,505 wounded, reflecting the catastrophic scale of Israel’s assault on the besieged enclave.
Rescue efforts continue across Gaza to locate and recover the bodies of additional victims still missing in the rubble of devastated neighborhoods. The mounting casualties and widespread destruction have drawn renewed calls from Palestinian officials and international advocates for an immediate ceasefire and accountability for Israel’s actions, which many describe as systematic war crimes targeting Gaza’s civilian population.
