At least 9,257 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip since the war broke out on October 7, the Hamas-run health ministry announced on November 3.
The ministry said in an update that 3,826 children and 2,405 women were among the dead. It also noted that the number of wounded has exceeded 23,516.
Separately, Ashraf al-Qudra, a spokesman for the ministry, revealed during a press conference that 1,200 children are still buried under the debris. The spokesman also said that 136 paramedics were killed, 25 ambulance vehicles were destroyed. 126 hospitals and another 50 medical centers were also targeted, according to him.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stepped up strikes on Gaza after its troops managed to besiege the northern part of the Strip, including Gaza City, a day earlier. Roads leading south were reportedly cut, and civilians attempting to flee were targeted.
In one case eight children were killed along with their parents in an Israeli strike while moving towards the south along a beach road.
Israeli advance slowed down on November 3, as troops are apparently working to clear and secure newly-captured areas in northern Gaza.
The IDF said that the Yahalom combat engineering unit has been working to demolish Hamas tunnels discovered during ground operations.
Yahalom troops, members of the Combat Engineering Corps’s 7107th Battalion, along with infantry forces of the Nahal and Negev brigades, as well as tanks, uncovered several tunnel entrances in northern Gaza, according to the IDF.
“The troops uncovered shafts, planted explosives… and neutralized the tunnels,” the IDF said.
The IDF released two videos showing engineering troops discovering a tunnel and blowing up another in an unspecified part of northern Gaza.
The IDF also acknowledged losing another soldier, which raises the number of Israeli troops killed in the Gaza ground operation to 24.
More Israeli losses will likely be reported before the end of the day. Since the morning, Hamas’ military wing, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, has announced that its fighters had targeted a tank, an armored personnel carrier, an armored bulldozer and four other military vehicles. Four groups of troops were also targeted and a soldier was hit by sniper fire. A gathering of the IDF near Gaza was also shelled.
Al-Qassam also released video footage of its fighters engaging Israeli tanks and infantry in the city of Beit Hanon in northern Gaza with rocket-propelled grenades.
In coming days, the IDF will work to link its advancing troops along the beach with the units that encircled Gaza city from the south. It is still unclear if Israel is planning to storm the highly-dense city. Such a move will likely be costly. It would also endanger thousands of civilians still trapped there.
hamas is really fucked up…hundreds of dead terrorists already, more to come every minute…
thousands of dead palestinian children already. murdered by jewish supremacists.

from the river to the sea, israel will be free
jewish supremacist apartheid. catch the fever!

such language, hasbarat! for a jewish supremacist, your ability to express yourself is definitely lacking.

repugnant rsult of mengele experiment…you will pay motahafacka zio pig
hamas, you bring nothing but destruction to your people.
you’re right, hasbarat. hamas is a creation of the jewish supremacist state, and seems to be causing a lot of trouble for the average jewish supremacist currently occupying palestine.
bwhaha look at all the muzzie lovers here. hahahaha.
putin’s fanboys support terrorists and nazis – nothing new
ok jew 🤣🤣🤣
i think you mean zionist scum. many jews are in favour of a free palestine
take a good look. and our numbers are growing by the hour. you have only your criminal, worthless, lying, murdering selves to blame.
nutsoyahoo has sold his soul to the synagogue of satan as has his genocide minister and the idf, what’s next israhell ? canabalism ?
they already do it. how many have been captured and sacrificed for bloody matzoh and highly profitable organ transplants ?
hope the world wakes up to that fact. they did that to pow’s in the 1967 war.
if i only knew where some of you cocksuckers lived. how dare you guys have the balls to speak this way about dead children. the things i would do to some of you if i got you tied to a chair in dark basement room. i would make you scream the same way these poor babies are. shut the fuck up you heartless scum bags. all of you deserve to be in pain forever.
jewish supremacists do have to live with being jewish supremacists, a truly awful state of existence.
without sincere repentence hell surely awaits.
i think you mean zionist scum. real jews pray for a free palestine. israel jails are full of jews who will not join the army.
well it’s clear some unhinged mental cases are at large among the public, they should be in a institute for the criminally insane, maybe they already are and have got hold of a computer.
shut up! shut all of you!
i’m trying to figure out what is the plan hamas had to know that doing this was going to illicit a violent response from israel
through the october 7 operation/provocation, iran’s plan, using hamas, was to trigger a violent response from israel against the palestinians in order to foster uprisings in the muslim world and force their leaders (sissi, king of jordan, erdogan etc) to take actions against israel. as you can see, that plan failed miserably as none of them took the bait. hamas should just surrender now in order to spare innocent blood.
they have absolutely nothing to lose. their only choice is between being slowly made extinct, or going out in one mad blast. may god be merciful.
lgbt like my tunnel of love
the chosenite sickness needs to be cured. do we have to wait for the destruction of the ussan golem and the collapse of its worthless dollah? why does the entire muslim world tolerate this evil?
watching these idiots parade around in civilian clothes is why regular people get killed. same shit happened in macedonia and kosovo.
see now you understand.
all israeli over 18 are soldiers. there are no civilians in israel. so stop ya facken whinging about oct 7. most of the 1400 killed were soldiers and the world now knows all the children and families butchered in the kibbitz were done by the idf.
hamas only attacked the bases
