Gaza’s Health Ministry said Tuesday that at least 23 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces in Gaza over the previous 24-hour period, bringing the recorded death toll since October 7, 2023, to 41,638.
Another 101 Palestinians were injured by Israeli attacks, bringing the total number of wounded to 96,460. The Health Ministry’s numbers are an undercount since they only include dead and wounded Palestinians who have been brought to hospitals and morgues.
“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.
Later on Tuesday, Palestinian health officials told Middle East Eye that the Israeli military killed at least 37 people in Gaza on Tuesday. The Health Ministry’s figures are usually put out around mid-day Gaza time, meaning it doesn’t include all the Palestinians killed on that day.
Israeli attacks on Tuesday included two strikes on houses in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, which killed at least 13 people, including women and children. Another strike hit a school-turned-shelter for displaced people in the Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City, killing at least seven.
The latest massacres in Gaza come as the world’s attention is on Lebanon and the Iranian missile attacks on Israel. The regional escalations put much less scrutiny on Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly considering an ethnic cleansing plan for northern Gaza.
In September, 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.
Israel has truly lost its own sense of identity and purpose.
