Gaza death toll from Israeli attacks exceeds 6,500: Health Ministry

Tehran, IRNA - The Gaza Health Ministry has announced that the death toll of Palestinians from Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip has risen to 6,546.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Gaza Health Ministry stated that the aggression by the Zionist regime has resulted in the martyrdom of 6,546 people, including 2,704 children.

Meanwhile, 17,439 Palestinians were wounded in the coastal enclave, the ministry added.

During this week, 65 percent of victims were martyred or wounded in the southern Gaza Strip, where the Zionist regime determined as a secure and safe place, it further noted.

The Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas has announced that since the beginning of the Zionist attacks on the Gaza Strip on October 7, Israeli bombers have dropped an average of 33 tons of explosives on Gazans per kilometer of the territory.

On October 7, Hamas launched a surprise operation, dubbed Al-Aqsa Storm, outside Gaza after Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in recent days and a record number of Palestinians were killed by the Zionist regime in recent months.

The Zionist regime responded by pounding the besieged Gaza Strip after formally declaring war against the Palestinian Hamas group.
