The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported today, Sunday, that the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) committed two massacres in the Gaza Strip, leaving 25 martyrs and 72 injured during the past 24 hours.

The Ministry warned that there are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the roads, and that the IOF prevents ambulance and civil defense crews from reaching them.

It announced that the total death toll of the “Israeli” aggression had risen to 40,099 martyrs and 92,609 injuries since Oct. 7, 2023.
