Nearly 100 people killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza in past day, health ministry says
From CNN's Eyad Kourdi
As Israel’s strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon continue, elsewhere, the Ministry of Health in Gaza has reported 99 new deaths and 169 injuries in the past 24 hours due to Israeli airstrikes on the territory.
With today’s numbers, the total death toll since October 7 of last year has risen to 41,788, with 96,794 injured, the ministry said in a Thursday statement.
Additionally, it noted that many victims remain trapped under rubble, with emergency teams unable to reach them. The ministry does not distinguish between combatant and civilian deaths.
For context: Since October 8, 2023, the day after Hamas’ deadly attack on Israel, there has been regular cross-border fire between Hezbollah and the Israeli military, prior to the latest escalation. Hezbollah first fired at Israel to protest the war in Gaza, demanding a ceasefire there as a condition to end its attacks.
