GAZA -- The Palestinian death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen to 32,552, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said in a press statement on Thursday.

The Israeli army killed 62 Palestinians and wounded 91 others during the past 24 hours, it added.

This brings the total death toll to 32,552 and injuries to 74,980 since the Israel-Hamas conflict broke out, according to the ministry.

Israel has launched a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage through the southern Israeli border on Oct. 7, 2023, during which about 1,200 people were killed and more than 200 were taken hostage.
