Palestinian officials say Israeli forces have killed at least 64 people, including children, in Gaza on the first day of Eid al-Fitr.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has recovered the bodies of eight medics, five civil defence workers and a UN employee, a week after their vehicles came under Israeli fire near Rafah in southern Gaza, Alzajeera reported.

As stated by Gaza's Health Ministry, Israel's war on Gaza has claimed the lives of at least 50,277 Palestinians and injured 114,095 others. About two months ago, Gaza's Government Media Office increased its death toll to more over 61,700, claiming that thousands of individuals missing under the debris are assumed dead, according to Alzajeera.

At least 1,139 individuals were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led strikes on October 7, 2023, and more than 200 were kidnapped.
