At least 36 more Palestinians martyred in relentless Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, bringing the overall death toll since last year to 44,502

GAZA, Dec 04 (SABAH) At least 36 more Palestinians have been martyred in relentless Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, bringing the overall death toll since last year to 44,502, the Health Ministry in the enclave said on Wednesday.

A ministry statement added that some 105,454 others have been injured in the ongoing assault. “Israeli forces martyred 36 people and injured 96 others in two massacres of families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.

“Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads, with rescuers unable to reach them,” it added. The Israeli army has continued a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since a Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.

International recognition of the Gaza genocide has grown in the second year of the deadly Israeli war, as organizations and leaders have labeled the events a deliberate attempt to destroy the population.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) also issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice over its brutal war on Gaza.
