Hamas – The ruling authorities say more than 50,000 Palestinians were killed in the Gaza war.

Hamas-controlled health authorities said on Sunday that the number of Palestinians had exceeded 50,000 during the Gaza war.

These numbers cannot be verified independently, and these numbers cannot distinguish between warriors and civilians.

However, international organizations like the United Nations believe they are largely credible.

The conflict was triggered by the attacks on Israel by Palestinian militant group Hamas and Allied extremist groups on October 7, 2023.

In the Gaza Strip, about 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 Israelis were taken hostage.

A six-week ceasefire took effect in January, but Israel resumed the attack this week, with hundreds of Palestinians killed since.

About 30 people were killed in a fresh Israeli attack in southern Gaza, according to a media report on Sunday.

The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported various attacks in the Rafa and Khan Yunis areas, including drone strikes. Residential buildings and vehicles are the goals.

The Israeli military had previously warned residents of the Tar Suldan area of ​​Rafah that it would “launch an offensive against terrorist groups.”

Residents are asked to escape from the combat zone. Videos are popular on social media, people fleeing Rafa, some of whom are heavy and have kids.

Hamas Five members killed during Israeli strike

Five people, including a senior Hamas member, were killed on Sunday in an Israeli attack on a hospital in the southern Gaza Strip, Palestine reported.

Staff at Nasser Hospital in Khanyunis said the Israeli military attacked the second floor of the hospital.

The Israeli military said in a statement that the target was a senior Hamas agent who was active on the second floor of the hospital and showed on the accompanying chart.

Hamas and Palestine reports said the attack targeted and killed Hamas Politburo member Ismail Barhum.

The Israeli military initially refused to confirm this, but Defense Minister Katz praised the army for killing Balham.

Israeli media said Barhum was responsible for allocating funds within Hamas.

The Israeli military said the attack was “after an extensive intelligence gathering process and precise ammunition to mitigate damage to the surrounding environment”. It accuses Hamas of using the hospital as a hiding place.

Hamas said Baham was treated in the hospital. The information provided by both parties cannot be verified independently at first.

Hamas Confirm the death of senior leader

Hamas said earlier Sunday that a senior official was killed in an Israeli air strike in the Southern Gaza Strip.

The Islamic organization confirmed the death of its Politburo member Salah al-Bardawil in an article on its Telegram channel.

Hamas said Al-Bardawil and his wife were “killed in a treacherous Zionist assassination” in his tent in Al-Mawasi, an area in the Gaza Strip designated as a humanitarian zone.
