Iran Press/ West Asia: “In 4 months of war, around 100,000 people in Gaza were killed, injured, or are currently missing,” Philippe Lazzarini said in a post on X.
More than 80 percent of the 2.3 million population has been displaced, most of them several times over, he added.
“A ceasefire is overdue, a different trajectory is needed for the sake of people in Gaza, in Israel, elsewhere in the region, and beyond,” he said. Israel has pounded the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7. At least 66,835 Palestinians have also been injured in Israel’s bombardment of the besieged Gaza Strip since October 7, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
The death toll in Israel from the October 7 Hamas attacks stands at 1,139. Since the beginning of the war, the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians has been ongoing
In the latest developments, Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian group, says it hit several tanks with Yasin-105 mortar shells and targeted a house where Israeli troops were sheltering in Khan Younis in separate attacks.
The group also claimed an attack on a tank in Gaza City in the north of the territory.
It later released footage of its fighters targeting Israeli military vehicles in southern Gaza.
