A Gaza hospital spokesperson had earlier put the death toll from the Israeli assault at 93
Welcome back to our continuing live coverage of the Israel-Gaza war and wider Middle East conflict. I’m Hayden and I’ll be bringing you the latest updates this morning. The Palestinian death toll from Israel’s hostage rescue raid in al-Nuseirat has risen to 210, Gaza’s Hamas-run government media office says. There was no immediate confirmation of the figure from Gaza’s health ministry. The raid led to the rescue of four Israeli hostages held by Hamas since 7 October.
It was reported earlier that the bodies of nearly 100 Palestinians were brought to the al-Aqsa martyrs’ hospital along with more than 100 injured, spokesperson Khalil Degran told the Associated Press. Degran later told AP that overall, 210 dead had been taken to al-Aqsa martyrs’ hospital and to al-Awda hospital, saying he had spoken to the director there. Al-Awda’s numbers couldn’t immediately be confirmed.
