More than 1,150 soldiers killed since war started, says Israel

At least 1,152 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza in October 2023, according to figures published by Israel’s Defence Ministry.

About 42 percent of these soldiers were under the age of 21, and the figure includes soldiers, police officers, Shin Bet and special operations forces.

The figure includes those killed in the October 7 attack. (373 security forces killed on Oct 7)


Children among those wounded by Israeli attack in Gaza City

A number of Palestinians, including children, have been wounded after an Israeli attack targeted the vicinity of the al-Rum School in the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood of Gaza City, an ambulance and emergency source told Al Jazeera.


Gaza death toll reaches 67,160

At least 67,160 people have been killed and 169,679 wounded by Israeli attacks across Gaza since October 2023, the Palestinian Health Ministry said. It added that 21 Palestinians were killed and 96 wounded in the last 24 hours.


With ceasefire talks in Egypt, Palestinians in Gaza hope for end to the war

As officials from Israel, Hamas and countries trying to mediate an end to the war in Gaza gather in Egypt, Palestinians in Gaza are hoping for a quick agreement.

“If there is a deal, then we survived. If there isn’t, it is like we have been sentenced to death,” said Gharam Mohammad, 20, who is displaced along with her family in central Gaza.

In southern Gaza, displaced Palestinians said they remain trapped in conditions that are getting worse, hoping a ceasefire would allow them to return to what remains of their homes in the north.

Nada, whose husband was killed while looking for food, now lives in a makeshift tent of blankets and plastic with her two daughters.

“We don’t know where to go or what to do,” she said. “I’m alone with my children, separated from my family. We don’t have food, water or clothes. We pray a deal is reached and we will be among the first to go back to the north although my home has been destroyed.”
