More than 1,500 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s ongoing offensive in the northern Gaza Strip since last month, the Health Ministry said on Thursday, Anadolu Agency reports.

“The army continues to commit massacres and target shelters and civilians in northern Gaza, causing fatalities amid a strained healthcare system,” he said.
Earlier, Hussam Abu Safiya, the Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern city of Beit Lahiya, said that the hospital was operating with limited resources amid a deadly Israeli onslaught in the area.
The army has launched a deadly offensive in the northern Gaza Strip since last month to allegedly prevent Palestinian Resistance group, Hamas, from regrouping. Palestinians, however, accuse Israel of seeking to occupy the area and forcibly displace its residents.
Israel has continued a devastating offensive on Gaza since a Hamas attack on 7 October, 2023, killing nearly 43,500 people and rendering the enclave almost uninhabitable.
