„From early October last year to today, the death toll from Israeli aggression in Gaza has risen to 36,439, with another 82,627 people injured,” said the department's summary.
The situation in the Middle East sharply worsened after the infiltration of Hamas fighters from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory on October 7, 2023, which was accompanied by the killing of residents of border villages and the taking of more than 240 hostages. In response, Israel launched a military operation in Gaza with the aim of destroying the military-political structure of Hamas and freeing all the abductees.
