Israeli attacks leave 127 dead in 24 hours, says Hamas-controlled ministry

Israeli attacks killed at least 127 people and injured another 178 in Gaza in the last 24 hours, the Palestinian Ministry of Health controlled by Hamas said on Sunday (4).

A CNN cannot independently verify the number of casualties on the ground.

The Ministry of Health added that in total, 27,365 Palestinians have been killed and 66,630 injured in Gaza since October 7, 2023.

As of January 8, according to Palestinian statistics, about one in every 100 people in Gaza had been killed since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas.

Israel believes it has killed two Palestinian civilians for every Hamas militant in its intense campaign to eliminate the armed group from the Gaza Strip, a ratio an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman described to CNN last month as “tremendously positive”.

More than 1,200 people were killed and about 200 others were kidnapped in the October 7 terrorist attack in southern Israel. Around 130 hostages remain in Gaza.
