The death toll from Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since October 2023 has risen to 73,058, while 173,488 people have been wounded, Gaza's Health Ministry said.

In a written statement, the ministry shared the latest figures on casualties from Israel's ongoing attacks on Gaza.

It said the bodies of four people killed in Israeli attacks and eight wounded people were brought to hospitals in Gaza over the past 24 hours.

Death toll since ceasefire reaches 1,045

Since the ceasefire took effect on Oct. 10, 2025, 1,045 people have been killed and 3,380 others wounded in Israeli attacks, according to the ministry.

It said 786 bodies have also been recovered from under the rubble since the ceasefire came into force.

The ministry reported that the overall death toll from Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since October 2023 had climbed to 73,058, while the number of wounded had reached 173,488.

Thousands of bodies are still believed to be under the rubble across the Gaza Strip.

Israeli reservists describe post-ceasefire conditions

Three Israeli reservists previously described a Gaza Strip where the ceasefire that took effect last October changed little about the killing, according to The Associated Press (AP).

They said commanders quietly encouraged troops to shoot anyone crossing an ambiguous boundary, and soldiers celebrated strikes on Palestinian vehicles.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, announced plans to expand Israeli control from 60% to 70% of the territory, drawing international condemnation and a dire warning from the United Nations children's agency.

"It was a jungle," one Israeli soldier in his 20s told AP, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of being ostracized.

"After the ceasefire, the order was: If someone crosses the line, you shoot them," the Israeli soldier said.
