GAZA, Palestine - The health ministry in Gaza said Tuesday at least 39,090 people have been killed in more than nine months of war between Israel and Palestinian militants, AFP reported.
The toll includes 84 deaths in 24 hours, according to ministry figures, which also list 90,147 people as having been wounded in the Gaza Strip since the genocide began when Hamas armed wing's offensive operations on Israel on October 7.
According to the health ministry, the death toll from an Israeli operation launched in Khan Yunis on Monday rose to 73, including 24 children and 15 women, with more than 270 wounded.
The Gaza government media office gave a higher figure of 89 people killed in that operation over the past 24 hours.
The Israeli military began bombarding Khan Yunis early on Monday, catching some families still eating their breakfasts and forcing thousands of Palestinians to flee a designated "humanitarian area" now under evacuation orders.
Israel's military said it had "adjusted" the humanitarian zone following rocket fire from its eastern part, and warned it would be dangerous to remain there.
