Hamas-controlled health authority said that the number of Gaza Strip residents killed in Israeli attacks had risen to 22,185.

The authority, on Tuesday announced that it was 207 more than the previous day’s figure, while 57,035 people have been injured since the start of the war.

However, majority of these killed were civilians, the figures cannot be independently verified at present.

The Gaza war was triggered by the worst massacre in Israel’s history, carried out by militants from Hamas and other extremist groups on Oct. 7, in Israel near the border with the Gaza Strip.

They murdered more than 1,200 people.

Israel responded with massive air strikes and a ground offensive, the end of which is currently not in sight.
