More than 12,000 martyrs, including 5,000 children, while 3,750 are still missing under the rubble since the start of the war on the Gaza Strip on October 7.

The death toll from the ongoing Israeli war on the Gaza Strip has risen to more than 12,000 martyrs, including 5,000 children and 3,300 women. The war also resulted in 3,750 missing persons who are still under the rubble across the Strip, while clashes continue between Israeli army forces and the Palestinian resistance in several areas.

This comes as the Israeli army continues to bomb several areas and homes inhabited by residents and displaced people in the Gaza Strip, leaving martyrs and wounded, not to mention massive destruction.

The “War Cabinet” approved the entry of two solar tankers daily into the Gaza Strip, and in this context, the head of the Israeli National Security Council, Tzachi Hanegbi, said, “The decision to introduce fuel into the Gaza Strip was taken in accordance with a special request from the United States of America in order to allow the work of United Nations facilities and prevent the spread of epidemics.” Not only among the citizens of Gaza, but also among the soldiers in the Strip.”

Hanegbi pointed out, "We will agree to a very short ceasefire in exchange for the release of a large number of hostages, knowing that there is no agreement yet on a deal to release hostages from the Gaza Strip."

The Israeli army announced on Friday that its forces and members of the Shin Bet had returned the body of female soldier Noa Murciano from the Gaza Strip. Hamas fighters captured the female soldier during the October 7 attack on the “Gaza envelope,” and earlier this week she was killed in an Israeli raid, according to what Hamas announced.

According to the Israeli army statement, Merciano's body was found in a building near Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, and information about the location of the body was provided by the Shin Bet. The statement added that members of the Military Rabbinate identified the body and transported it to Israel last night.
