GAZA STRIP, Jan 05 (AFP): The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said on Sunday that 88 people were killed in the Palestinian territory in the past 24 hours, taking the overall death toll of the war to 45,805.
The ministry also said in a statement that at least 109,064 people had been wounded in nearly 15 months of war between Israel and Hamas, triggered by the Palestinian group's October 7, 2023 attack.
The Israeli military said Sunday that it had struck more than 100 "terror targets" in the Gaza Strip over the past two days, while rescuers in the Palestinian territory reported dozens of people killed in Israeli strikes.
Several of the strikes targeted sites from which Palestinian militants had been firing projectiles into Israel in recent days, the military said.
"The IAF (air force) struck over 100 terror targets throughout the Gaza Strip, and eliminated dozens of Hamas terrorists" in the past two days, a military statement said.
Gaza's civil defence agency reported that on Saturday more than 30 people were killed in Israeli strikes. Last week, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz warned of intensified Israeli strikes if the incoming rocket fire continued.
