Hamas government raises death toll from Israeli bombings in Gaza to 12,000 Barron’s

The Hamas government in the Gaza Strip said on Friday that 12,000 people had died in bombings in Palestinian areas since the war began on October 7, 500 more than reported on Wednesday.

The Islamist movement said 5,000 children and 3,300 women were among the dead, and also reported 30,000 injuries. Hamas’ health ministry reiterates that the tally is incomplete given the intensity of the bombings in northern Gaza, where dozens of bodies lie in the streets.
