Death toll in Gaza since dawn rises to 73

The number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces since dawn on Wednesday in the Gaza Strip has risen to 73, Wafa news agency reported, citing medical sources. 

A total of 65,419 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, mostly children and women, by Israeli forces since October 2023, and at least 167,160 others have been wounded.

Thousands of others remain unaccounted for under the rubble, making the actual death toll likely to be much higher.
