The Israeli army killed 41 more Palestinians in attacks in the Gaza Strip, taking the overall death toll to 39,258 since last Oct. 7, the Health Ministry in the enclave said on Saturday.
A ministry statement added that some 90,589 other people have also been injured in the assault.
“Israeli forces killed 41 people and injured 103 others in four ‘massacres’ against families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.
“Many people are still trapped under rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.
Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israel has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since an Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Palestinian group Hamas.
Over nine months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, whose latest ruling ordered Tel Aviv to immediately halt its military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
