New information from The Palestinian government in Gaza's information center has revealed that the number of Palestinians martyred by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) has climbed to 16, 248 and an additional 43, 616 Palestinians have been seriously wounded.

According to the statement by the center, the "bodies admitted to hospitals has increased to 16,248... The number of missing persons who may be under the rubble has reached 7,600, and the number of injured has reached 43,616."

The Health Ministry in Gaza revealed days ago that 70% of those killed are women and children.

This comes as the government media office in Gaza previously reported that the Israeli occupation committed 23 massacres in just 24 hours, in which 316 Palestinians were killed, with hundreds still stuck under the rubble.

Furthermore, an official from the Gaza government's media office informed Al Mayadeen on Sunday that the al-Shujaiya neighborhood massacre carried out by the Israeli occupation forces was one of the most horrific incidents, with more than 500 casualties reported.

In addition, contrary to the Israeli and American lies purported regarding 'safe zones' in Gaza, Hamas spokesman in Lebanon Osama Hamdan revealed Tuesday that nowhere is safe

During a press conference, Hamdan detailed that "There are no safe zones in the entire Gaza Strip, despite the statements of the United States and the propaganda of the occupier [Israel], because the occupier has turned the entire territory into a zone of total war by its barbaric machine aimed at children and women."

Halevi announced during a meeting with the Gaza Division's soldiers that "It will be no less powerful than [the invasion in northern Gaza], it will have no less results," he emphasized, adding that Hamas commanders will meet Israeli occupation forces "everywhere".

The statement added that as of December 2, the number of UNRWA staffers killed since the start of the war on Gaza has reached 111.
