Gaza authorities stated that more than 10,000 people killed in the Israeli assault remain buried under the rubble. They called on the international community to allow specialized international rescue teams and heavy equipment into Gaza to recover the bodies.

Meanwhile, on Thursday evening, the Israeli army launched a series of air raids on the towns of Tyre, Taybeh, Aita al-Jabal and Zawtar al-Sharqiyah in southern Lebanon, shortly after warning residents in several areas to evacuate their homes ahead of imminent strikes. 

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has killed 68,875 and injured 170,679 others, the majority of whom are women and children, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.
