Hamas-run health ministry says more than 25,000 killed in Israel offensive on Gaza | BBC News

More than 25,000 people have now been killed in Gaza during Israel’s offensive there, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

On Monday it said there had been 178 deaths in the last 24 hours, making it one of the deadliest days in the war so far.

As fighting continued, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again rejected creating a Palestinian state, with the White House stating the US and Israel "clearly see things differently" when it comes to a two-state solution.

Israel began its offensive following the 7 October attack in which Hamas fighters killed 1,300 people in southern Israel and took more than 240 hostage.
