CAIRO, December 10. /TASS/. About 30 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip in the past day, the enclave’s Health Ministry said in a statement.

"Twenty-eight people were killed and another 54 suffered injuries in the Israeli aggression in the past 24 hours," the statement reads.

According to the ministry, "the death toll has reached 44,786 since the start of Israel's military operation, while 106,188 were injured."

Tensions flared up again in the Middle East on October 7, 2023, when militants from the Gaza Strip-based radical Palestinian movement Hamas staged a surprise attack on Israeli territory from Gaza, killing residents of Israeli border settlements and taking over 240 hostages, including women, children and the elderly. In response, Israel launched a military operation in the Palestinian enclave to destroy Hamas military and political wings and free all hostages. Hostilities in the Gaza Strip continue to this day.
