More than 130 Palestinians were killed on Friday and yesterday, claimed Gaza’s Health Ministry, including 30 children, bringing the overall death toll to 23,843.
The figure, which is disputed by Israel, does not take into account the hundreds of Hamas militants targeted by Israel Defence Forces strikes.
Israel claims that 186 of its soldiers have lost their lives since Operation Swords of Iron was launched.
The war against Hamas was waged in retaliation for the October 7 massacre of 1,200 Israeli men, women and children in a surprise attack by Hamas militants on Israeli soil.
Around 250 more were taken hostage, and while some have been released or confirmed dead, more than half are believed to still be in captivity.
Last week the International Court of Justice heard allegations by South Africa that Israel committed genocide against the Palestinians.
