The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported today, Wednesday, that the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) committed four massacres in the Gaza Strip, leaving 50 martyrs and 124 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 40,223 martyrs and 92,981 injuries since Oct. 7, 2023.
