Since the offensive against Gaza began on October 7, 2023, Israeli occupation forces have killed at least 44,580 Palestinians and injured tens of thousands of people.

Meanwhile, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir called for a halt to the flow of fuel into the Gaza Strip until the Hamas resistance movement releases the hostages. “We have to stop their fuel supply for a few months.
