Israeli President Isaac Herzog has expressed his “utter pain and sorrow for any innocent casualty on the Palestinian side” during the ongoing war in the Hamas controlled Gaza Strip.
According to the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza, over 11,000 people have been killed during Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza. Those numbers have not been independently verified and Israel says it’s unclear how many were killed by Israeli or terrorist fire. The military strikes follow Israel’s declaration of war after Hamas launched a terrorist attack on the nation on Oct. 7 that saw 1,200 people in Israel murdered and hundreds more taken as hostages.
