As Israel-Hamas War Enters 7th Month, A Lookback At What Happened

While Hamas has refused to say how many fighters it has lost, Israel claims to have killed more than 12,000.

The bloodiest-ever war in Gaza that broke out exactly six months ago has taken an appalling human toll. At least 33,137 people have been killed in the besieged Palestinian territory in Israel's campaign of retaliation for the Hamas attack of October 7, according to Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry.

The unprecedented Hamas raid on southern Israel killed 1,170 Israelis and foreigners, most of them civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures.
