Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Gaza reports that some 70 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza on Wednesday, as ground troops join Israel’s assault on the territory.
At least 436 Palestinians, including 183 children, have been killed since Israel shattered the ceasefire on Tuesday, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that Israel could fight a “larger and stronger front” in the occupied West Bank in addition to its “fierce war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip”.
Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 49,547 Palestinians have been confirmed dead and 112,719 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. Gaza’s Government Media Office updated its death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of Palestinians missing under the rubble are presumed dead. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks and more than 200 were taken captive.
