GAZA: The death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen to 73,910, while 174,935 Palestinians have been injured since the start of the Israeli aggression on October 7, 2023, medical sources said on Sunday.
Local health authorities reported that hospitals across Gaza received the bodies of three Palestinians and 21 injured people over the past 24 hours.
They added that the number of Palestinians killed since the ceasefire took effect on October 11, 2025, has risen to 1,393, while 4,822 others have been injured. A total of 831 bodies have been recovered from under the rubble since the ceasefire.
Meantime, a number of victims remain trapped under the rubble and on the roads, as ambulance and rescue crews remain unable to reach them.
Israeli forces detain at least 27 Palestinians
Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces have continued their raid on the village of al-Mughayyir, east of Ramallah, since dawn on Sunday, detaining at least 27 Palestinians in a large-scale campaign.
Local sources told WAFA that Israeli forces deployed infantry units throughout the village from the early morning hours and closed its only entrance. Soldiers raided several homes, ransacked their contents, and stole amounts of cash and gold jewelry.
The sources said the detention campaign was ongoing, with at least 27 Palestinians detained so far.
Israeli forces also turned the home of Palestinian citizen Shaher Sari Abu Alia into a military barracks and took all those detained there, amid the continued raid and detention campaign.
The latest operation follows an attack on al-Mughayyir on Saturday by Israeli colonists and occupation forces, during which several Palestinians suffered suffocation, homes were raided and several citizens were assaulted.
Al-Mughayyir has faced repeated attacks by Israeli colonists alongside frequent Israeli military raids. OCHA has documented a sharp rise in colonist incidents affecting the village, including attacks causing Palestinian casualties and property damage, as well as agricultural losses and attacks on livestock.
On September 2, two 19-year-old Palestinians, Omar Mohammad Na’ssan and Khalil Abu Alia, were killed during an attack on the village by Israeli colonists accompanied by Israeli forces.
