Gaza's interior authority says that 16,000 people were killed and 36,000 others were wounded so far as the result of the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip, local media reported Saturday, adding that more than 8,000 people remain missing.
A humanitarian truce between Israel and Hamas collapsed on Friday, with the conflicting parties accusing each other of violating the ceasefire deal.
The Israeli military said Saturday it had attacked more than 400 targets in the Gaza Strip since the pause in the fighting with Hamas ended at 07:00 local time Friday (0500 GMT).
While in Israel, the overall death toll is more than 1,200, mostly during Hamas' surprise attack on October 7 that triggered the conflict.
