The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said Tuesday that 792 people had been killed in the week since Israel resumed bombardments on the Palestinian territory, including 62 in 24 hours.
The ministry said in a statement that it recorded "792 martyrs and 1,663 injuries" since strikes resumed, bringing the total death toll since the war started on 7 October, 2023, to 50,144.
Meanwhile, Israel's president said on Tuesday he was shocked that the issue of hostages being held by Palestinian militants in Gaza was no longer a top priority in the country, days after criticising the government's war policy.
