Palestinian death toll crosses 11,000

The Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza says the Palestinian death toll in the war has surpassed 11,000 people.

The ministry said Friday that 11,078 people had been killed since hostilities began on October 7 when Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel.

More than 1,400 people have been killed in Israel, primarily in the initial Hamas attack, and 41 Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza since the ground offensive began.
