Israel - Hamas War -- News Updates November 6, 2023

 

BBC: Israel Gaza war: Hamas-run health ministry says Gaza death toll passes 10,000 

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says more than 10,000 people have been killed in the Palestinian territory since Israel started bombing it last month. More than 4,000 of those killed were children, the ministry said. 

The number surpasses the UN's figure of about 5,400 killed in Gaza in all of Israel's previous conflicts with Hamas since it took control of the territory in 2007.

Israel began bombing Gaza after Hamas killed 1,400 people and kidnapped more than 200 others on 7 October. 

It says it is destroying Hamas infrastructure and killing its fighters so that it will no longer be able to pose a threat to Israel.
