The war broke out after Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on Israel from Gaza on October 7, resulting in some 1,160 deaths – mostly civilians – according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures.

Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed at least 32,552 people, mostly women and children, according to the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza.
