Israel Says it Killed 5,000 Fighters in Gaza War on Hamas
Israeli forces have killed more then 5,000 enemy combatants and at least 10,000 civilians so far in its war with Hamas in Gaza, a senior Israeli defense official said Monday.
The latest assessment from Israel of the total toll is roughly in line with the number of deaths in Gaza reported by the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, which has said more than 15,200 people have died since Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza after Hamas's Oct. 7 attack on Israel. The ministry has not said how many of the dead are fighters.

The IDF has been operating in Hamas strongholds in the areas of Jabaliya, Shuja'iyya and Khan Yunis, destroying terrorist infrastructure and eliminating Hamas terrorists.
In addition, our forces gained control of central Hamas positions in Jabaliya over the past day, as well as located weapons and terrorist infrastructure, some of which was found in civilian buildings, including a school.
