The ministry announced on social media that besides the soaring death toll, at least 1,600 Palestinians are wounded. At least 150 Israelis have also been killed in escalation with Hamas, Anadolu said quoting Israeli media reports."The fighting in southern Israel is still ongoing," the Israeli Foreign Ministry said, adding that security forces are"securing areas which are under attack by Hamas."
Hospitals across Israel are handling hundreds of wounded individuals, with over 460 people currently receiving medical treatment. The Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba said it is treating at least 280 casualties, with 60 in serious condition. The Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon, near Gaza, reported treating 182 wounded people, including 12 in critical condition.
