The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has risen to 34,789, health authorities in Gaza said in a press statement on Tuesday.

The Israeli army killed 54 people and wounded 96 others during the past 24 hours, bringing the total death toll to 34,789 and injuries to 78,204 since the Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out in October last year, according to the statement.

At least one Palestinian was killed and nine others were injured by Israeli troops' gunfire during a nearly 20-hour military operation in the city of Tulkarm in the northern West Bank, Palestinian medical sources said on Tuesday.

Israel launched a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate the movement's surprise attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, during which about 1,200 people in Israel were killed and more than 200 were taken hostage.
