The Israeli Ministry of Health announced on Friday that the number of Israelis wounded had risen to 4,834 since the start of the war on Gaza on October 7.

The ministry said in a statement, a copy of which was sent to Anadolu: “The number of injured people who were transported to hospitals as of Friday reached 4,834, including 12 in critical condition, 280 in serious condition, 771 in moderate condition, and the rest in minor condition.”

The Ministry stated that the number of injured people still in hospitals reached 301 on Friday, including 48 in serious condition, 173 in moderate condition, and 80 in minor condition.

Israeli media, including the official Israeli Broadcasting Authority, announced that at least 1,300 Israelis had been killed since the beginning of the war.

For the fourteenth day, the Israeli army continues to target the Gaza Strip with intense air strikes that destroyed entire neighborhoods and killed and wounded thousands of Palestinian civilians.

At dawn on October 7, the Hamas movement and other Palestinian factions in Gaza launched Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood,” in response to “the continuing attacks by Israeli forces and settlers against the Palestinian people, their property, and their sanctities, especially Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem.”

On the other hand, the Israeli army launched Operation Iron Swords and continues to launch intensive raids on many areas in the Gaza Strip, which is inhabited by more than two million Palestinians who suffer from deteriorating living conditions as a result of an ongoing Israeli siege since 2006.
