Health Ministry: Dozens killed, wounded in 24 hours
According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, the death toll in the past 24 hours has reached 60 martyrs and 185 Palestinians injured amid the continued Israeli onslaught in the besieged Strip.
The Ministry clarified that this toll does not account for casualties in the North Gaza Governorate, as emergency teams have been unable to reach hospitals due to the relentless bombardment. A number of victims remain trapped under rubble or lying in the streets, with ambulance and civil defense teams unable to access many locations due to the intensity of Israeli strikes.
Cumulative toll
The overall toll of the ongoing Israeli aggression since October 7, 2023, now stands at 53,822 martyrs and 122,382 wounded, according to health authorities.
Since the Israeli resumption of the genocide on March 18, 2025, Gaza has recorded 3,673 martyrs and 10,341 injured.
Netanyahu ties Gaza war end to Trump relocation plan
As the destruction and death toll continue to rise exponentially despite widespread condemnation and calls for action, "Israel" has not ceased its assaults on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
In a rare press conference on Wednesday, Israeli Occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu named the implementation of US President Donald Trump’s Gaza relocation plan as a new condition for ending the war on Gaza, the first time he has made such a demand publicly.
Calling the proposal “brilliant” and “revolutionary,” Netanyahu, who has an arrest warrant issued against him by the ICC, said it could “change the face of the Middle East.”
Speaking at his office in occupied al-Quds, Netanyahu said the IOF's latest operation in the Gaza Strip, Operation Gideon’s Chariots, aims to complete the war and bring Gaza under full Israeli security control. He reiterated the war’s alleged objectives as “defeating Hamas, returning the hostages, and ensuring Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel.”
