Israeli forces conduct another ground raid in Gaza ahead of expected invasion
The Palestinian death toll passed 7,000 as Israel launched waves of airstrikes in response to the bloody Hamas rampage in southern Israel on October 7
Israeli forces conducted another ground raid in Gaza in advance of an expected invasion of the Hamas-ruled territory. US warplanes, meanwhile, struck targets in eastern Syria after attacks on USforces by Iran-backed fighters, adding to regional tensions fueled by the 3-week-old Gaza war.
The Palestinian death toll passed 7,000 as Israel launched waves of airstrikes in response to the bloody Hamas rampage in southern Israel on October 7.
The Health Ministry in Hamas-ruled Gaza, which tracks the toll, released a detailed list including names and ID numbers Thursday.
In the occupied West Bank, more than 110 Palestinians have been killed in violence and Israeli raids since October 7.
More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, mostly civilians slain during the initial Hamas attack. In addition, 229 people including foreigners, children and older adults were taken by Hamas during the incursion and remain in captivity in Gaza. Four hostages were released earlier.
