The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has risen to 45,717, with 108,856 others injured, the Gaza-based health ministry said in a statement on Saturday.
In the past 24 hours alone, at least 59 people have been killed and 273 injured in the enclave, according to the statement.
Gaza's Civil Defense Authority reported that Israeli airstrikes across Gaza resulted in at least 19 fatalities the same day.
In northern Gaza City, an Israeli airstrike struck a building, killing at least 11 people, including seven children. The Civil Defense further claimed that Israeli drones targeted rescue teams operating in the area.
In south Gaza's Khan Younis, five security personnel escorting a humanitarian aid convoy were killed in an Israeli airstrike. The Civil Defense Authority accused Israel of deliberately targeting these personnel to obstruct the delivery of humanitarian aid.
In a separate airstrike in Khan Younis, a building was struck, resulting in the deaths of three people, including one child.
The health ministry's Saturday statement also said that the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza is no longer treating patients or wounded. So far, all three public hospitals in Gaza's north, namely Kamal Adwan Hospital, Beit Hanoun Hospital, and Indonesian Hospital, are all out of service due to relentless Israeli strikes, according to the statement.
In its own development, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued a statement on Saturday declaring the completion of military operations in a northern Gaza area, which senior Hamas commanders reportedly used as a hideout and operational center.
According to the IDF, the area referred to as the "Officers' Neighborhood" contained buildings overlooking Israeli territory. It was described as a key hub for Hamas militants, equipped with anti-tank positions, traps, tunnels, and launch devices targeting Israel. The IDF claimed that it destroyed the entire complex along with Hamas infrastructure located within it.
