Palestinian deaths soar past 2,300, making it deadliest of five wars for Gaza
Deir Al-Balah (Gaza Strip) (AP): The Gaza Health Ministry says 2,329 Palestinians have been killed since the latest fighting erupted, making this the deadliest of the five Gaza wars for Palestinians.
The death toll on Sunday surpassed that of the third war between Israel and Hamas, in the summer of 2014, when 2,251 Palestinians, including 1,462 civilians, were killed, according to U.N. figures.
That war lasted six weeks, and 74 people were killed on the Israeli side, including six civilians.
The current war erupted a week ago after Hamas attacked southern Israel. More than 1,300 Israelis have been killed in the rocket attacks from Gaza. The majority were civilians.
For Israel, this is the deadliest war since the 1973 conflict with Egypt and Syria.
