DUBAI, June 2. /TASS/. More than 30 Palestinians were killed in the past 24 hours by Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip, the Health Ministry of the Palestinian enclave said.

"Over the past 24 hours, 37 dead bodies were admitted to hospitals in the Gaza Strip, including five killed earlier. 136 injured people were also brought in. However, there are still many injured people under the rubble and on the streets, they cannot be reached by ambulance crews and civil defense services," it said in a statement.

According to the latest data from the Health Ministry, since March 18, the Israel Defense Forces killed over 4,149 people, and injured about 12,500. The total number of casualties since the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in October 2023 has exceeded 54,418 with 124,190 injured.

On March 18, Israel interrupted a ceasefire regime established in January by launching massive strikes on the Gaza Strip. Israel explained this by the refusal of the radical Palestinian movement Hamas from the proposals put forward by mediators and US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, stating that the purpose of the operation is the release of all hostages. The radicals blamed Israel and the United States for the resumption of hostilities.
