The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Wednesday that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli extermination war since October 7, 2023, has risen to 63,746 martyrs and 161,245 injuries.

Hospitals in Gaza received 113 martyrs and 304 injuries in the last 24 hours.

Additionally, 33 citizens waiting for aid were killed and 141 injured in the last 24 hours, raising the total “livelihood” martyrs to 2,339 and over 17,070 injuries.

Since March 18, 2025, the total casualties have reached 11,615 martyrs and 49,204 injuries.

Six new deaths due to malnutrition were recorded, raising the toll of starvation victims to 367 martyrs, including 131 children.

The health ministry confirmed that many victims remain trapped under rubble and on roads inaccessible to rescue teams.

The UN Human Rights Commissioner in the Palestinian Territories warned of a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, noting unprecedented deterioration in human rights and famine spreading towards Deir al-Balah amid Israeli restrictions on humanitarian aid.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health stated that the Israeli army killed 1,100 martyrs and detonated over 100 explosive robots in residential neighborhoods during three weeks of aggression on Gaza.

The statement added that the occupation forcibly displaced Gaza and northern residents, detonated over 100 explosive robots in populated streets and alleys, and conducted more than 70 direct airstrikes.

These crimes resulted in 1,100 martyrs and 6,008 injuries, averaging over 52 martyrs and 285 injuries daily, amid the collapse of the health system due to systematic attacks.

The Beersheba occupation court banned Dr. Marwan Al-Hams, director of field hospitals in Gaza, from meeting his lawyer for the third time since his abduction by occupation forces on July 21, 2025, with his detention extended until September 11.

Also, the occupation authorities renewed the administrative detention of Dr. Ahmed Mahna, director of Al-Awda Hospital in Tal al-Zaatar, for six more months under the “illegal combatants” law, after his arrest on December 16, 2023, during his work.

The “Al-Damir” human rights organization condemned these practices as blatant violations of international humanitarian law and called on the international community to take serious action to protect detainees and release them.

While the Israeli army continues its extermination war on the besieged Gaza with intensive airstrikes causing dozens of casualties daily, a split appears within the Israeli political and military leadership over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s insistence on not reaching a comprehensive agreement to end the war.

Humanitarian conditions worsen due to the tight siege and blockade preventing sufficient aid, increasing the suffering of Gazans who lost income and jobs.

The Israeli army refuses to disclose the number of reservists who joined their units after 60,000 summonses were issued in preparation for “Gideon Vehicles 2” operation targeting Gaza city.

According to Haaretz newspaper, the army admitted to a “massive exhaustion” among its forces and a significant decline in combat readiness, especially heavy bulldozers relied upon in field operations.

Officers in the ground forces were granted broad powers to manage reservist call-ups, allowing consideration of soldiers’ personal circumstances and approving short service periods with corresponding pay.

The army revealed that the number of bulldozers dropped from 200 at the war’s start to about half due to repeated targeting and many being out of service.

In recent months, the army contracted to buy 165 new bulldozers, of which only 65 have arrived, but they will not enter service before October after fortification.

Army radio reported that the bulldozer shortage partly resulted from previous U.S. supply restrictions, later lifted under the Trump administration.

The army announced plans to purchase tens of thousands of small drones of various types, including suicide drones equipped with two kilograms of explosives, considered a major development in the war. It will also buy night vision devices, tens of thousands of helmets, weapons, protective shields, and over a thousand “Hummer” vehicles.
