Officials from Hamas's Ministry of Health in Gaza stated on Sunday that the number of Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 6 has surpassed 25,000. According to Reuters, Israeli forces and Hamas fighters are engaged in clashes in several locations, from Jabalia in the north to Khan Younis in the south. The Gaza Health Ministry also reported that 178 Palestinians were killed in the past 24 hours, marking one of the deadliest days of the war so far. The Israeli army also announced that one Israeli soldier was killed in the clashes. The Hamas Health Ministry stated that a total of 25,105 Palestinians have been killed and 62,681 injured in Israeli attacks since October 6. The Hamas Health Ministry does not differentiate between civilian and militant deaths but claims that most of the casualties have been civilians. Israel launched its extensive military campaign in Gaza to eliminate Hamas following the group's attack on Israel on October 6. In that attack, Hamas and its allies killed over 1,200 people, mostly civilians. The attackers also took around 240 people hostage and brought them to Gaza. So far, about half of the hostages have been released. Israel's military campaign in Gaza has sparked widespread protests. Hamas, which is supported by the Islamic Republic, is designated as a terrorist organization by several countries, including the United States. Five members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were killed in an attack in Damascus; the deputy intelligence chief of the Quds Force was among the casualties. The UN Secretary-General stated that the right of Palestinians to establish their own state must be recognized by all.
