Israeli attacks kill 30 more Gazans as death toll reaches 44,835

ANKARA

Israeli attacks killed at least 30 more Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours, bringing the overall death toll since last year to 44,835, the Health Ministry in the enclave said on Thursday.

A ministry statement added that some 106,356 others were injured in the ongoing assault.

“Israeli forces killed 30 people and injured 99 others in three massacres of families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.

“Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.

Israel has continued a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip following a Hamas attack on Oct. 7 last year, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.

The second year of genocide in Gaza has drawn growing international condemnation, with officials and institutions labeling the attacks and blocking of aid deliveries as a deliberate attempt to destroy a population.

Last month, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its deadly war on Gaza.
