However, the majority of those killed were civilians, and the figures cannot be independently verified at present.
The Gaza war was triggered by the worst massacre in Israel’s history, carried out by militants from Hamas and other extremist groups on October 7 in Israel near the border with the Gaza Strip.
They murdered more than 1,200 people.
Israel responded with massive air strikes and a ground offensive, the end of which is currently not in sight.
