Israeli forces have killed at least 61 Palestinians in Gaza over the past three days, according to numbers released by Gaza’s Health Ministry.
On Saturday, the ministry said 52 Palestinians were killed, and 118 were wounded in the previous 48-hour period. On Sunday, the ministry said nine were killed and 41 were injured over the previous 24-hour period.
The violence brings the Health Ministry’s death toll since October 7, 2023, to 41,595 and the number of wounded to 96,251. The numbers are an undercount since they don’t account for the estimated 10,000 Palestinians who are missing and presumed dead under the rubble, and the number of indirect deaths caused by the Israeli siege is unknown.
“There are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the streets, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them,” the ministry said on Sunday.
Al Jazeera reported on Sunday that at least 28 Palestinians had been killed in Gaza since dawn, a number that likely includes people killed after the Health Ministry put out its daily update.
The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that one of the attacks targeted a school that was sheltering displaced Palestinians in the northern town of Beit Lahia, killing at least four people and wounding 15. Children and women were among the casualties.
Earlier this month, Gaza’s Health Ministry released the names of 34,344 Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli forces, including 11,355 children. Among the children were 710 infants who did not make it to their first birthday.

Well said!
People, who have been slaughtered, slaughter back!
violence is never the answer xaxaxaxaxxaatagahaaa
Then maybe the Arabs should have agreed to the UN partition plan, in 1947. The whole area would be a peaceful, prosperous area if they had. That's entirely on them.
if only they did
Any peace talks, anywhere???…
"Peace" is a dirty word to Nutty Yahoo and his murderous regime! With wars Israel can continue to expand, stealing other people's land! "Right to self-defense" is actually "right to attack others with impunity." SEVENTY PLUS years of it!
Other people's land? That's an extremely simplistic narrative, unless you teach at Harvard or Columbia.
Take Gaza, for example.
Gaza has had Jewish communities since Roman times, but Israel left Gaza in 2006, making an accord with the Palestinian Authority. However, after disputed elections, Hamas started attacking the PA and has illegally occupied Gaza since 2007.
So, Israel made a peaceful accord with the PA and left Gaza, despite a thousand years of Jewish history; Hamas violently occupied Gaza; Hamas attacks Israel; and your conclusion is Israel is "stealing other people's land!"
So, where do you teach – Harvard or Columbia?
It's 'piece' talks between Tel Aviv and Wash. as to those pieces taken from Palestine and Lebanon for the greater Israel agenda.
Perhaps Hezbollah shouldn't keep sending missiles at its neighbor.
Maybe Tel Aviv should stop stealing Palestinian’s land and homes. That’s been going on since 1948 and the missiles are a reaction to that.
Over 20,000 Hama fighters killed and Sinwar just keeps sending them to slaughter. Not to mention the civilians killed in the cross fire. And for what? A one day killing spree? Sooner or later he will be joining Nasrallah.
They must have a Masada complex.
You can bet there are more and more we will never hear about. How many thousands are lying under the rubble or have been blown to pieces? we'll never know.
