Death Toll in Israel’s Gaza Genocide: Over 730 Palestinian Civilians Killed
Gaza (Quds News Network)- Israeli attacks targeting multiple areas across the Gaza Strip have killed more than 730 Palestinian civilians, as the bombardment of the enclave continues.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, as of 12:30 pm local time, 730 people have been killed and 1,367 others injured, with the death toll expected to rise as many remain trapped under the rubble.
Earlier today, Israel deliberately killed two journalists in separate attacks in Gaza. Since October 2023, at least 208 journalists have been killed in Israeli attacks, according to the Government Media Office in Gaza.
Hossam Shabat, a journalist for the Al Jazeera Mubasher channel, was killed in northern Gaza. Witnesses said his car was targeted while in the eastern part of Beit Lahiya.
Palestine Today correspondent Mohammad Mansour was also killed in an airstrike north of Khan Younis.
The Ministry also reported that since the start of the Israeli assault on Gaza, more than 50,080 people have been killed and 113,408 others injured. Among the victims are 825 children under the age of one.
Since March 18, the Israeli occupation has resumed its assault on Gaza, marking the collapse of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal that had been in place since January 19, 2025. The first phase ended on March 1, 2025, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to proceed with the second phase.
Netanyahu, wanted by the International Criminal Court, sought to free more Israeli prisoners without fulfilling Israel’s commitments, including ending the war and withdrawing from Gaza. Hamas insisted on implementing the full agreement.
