The toll includes 35 deaths in the previous 24 hours, according to the ministry, which said 103,601 people have been wounded in the Gaza Strip since the war began when Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023.

Hamas's October 7 attack resulted in the deaths of 1,206 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures.
Vowing to stop Hamas from regrouping in north Gaza, Israel in October this year began a major air and ground assault there.
The Israeli army said earlier on Saturday that its troops continued "their operational activity" in the northern areas of Jabalia and Beit Lahia.
The military said "over the past day, the troops continued to operate in the Rafah area, eliminating numerous terrorists, dismantling terrorist infrastructure sites, and locating a large amount of weapons in the area" in the territory's south.
