11 more Israeli soldiers injured in Gaza fighting, army says

594 soldiers killed, 3,109 wounded in Gaza since Oct. 7, according to Israeli army figures

JERUSALEM (AA) - The Israeli army said Friday that another 11 soldiers were injured in the Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours.

The death toll of Israeli troops in Gaza since Oct. 7 has reached 594, with 3,109 others injured, according to military figures.

Israel has waged a deadly military offensive on the Gaza Strip since an Oct. 7 cross-border attack led by Hamas in which some 1,200 Israelis were killed.

Nearly 32,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have since been killed in Gaza, and more than 74,000 injured amid mass destruction and shortages of necessities.

The Israeli war has pushed 85% of Gaza’s population into internal displacement amid a crippling blockade of most food, clean water, and medicine, while 60% of the enclave's infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.

Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which in January issued an interim ruling ordering Tel Aviv to ensure its forces do not commit acts of genocide, and guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.
