Gaza Health Ministry Says Death Toll From War Tops 73,900 After Five More Killed
The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said five more Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes, and reported the cumulative death toll since the war began has risen to 73,928.
Gaza's Health Ministry said five more Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes, raising the cumulative death toll it has recorded since the start of the war to 73,928, according to a report from Anadolu Agency.
The ministry, which operates in the Hamas-run territory, also said the number of Palestinians it has recorded as injured during the conflict has risen to 175,030, the report states.
Anadolu Agency's report does not specify the location or circumstances of the latest strikes that killed the five people cited, nor does it include comment from the Israeli military on the incident.
The Gaza Health Ministry's cumulative casualty figures have been widely cited by international news organizations throughout the war, though Israeli officials have periodically disputed aspects of how the figures are compiled.
The characterization of the conflict as a genocide, used in some reporting on the war, remains a matter of active legal and political dispute; Israel rejects the designation, while some international bodies, legal scholars and rights groups have applied or examined the term in relation to the conflict.
