The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry has updated its cumulative toll from the ongoing war, reporting 73,003 dead and 173,000 wounded since October 7. The new count reflects an increase of 12 deaths since the ministry's previous report of 72,991 on June 11, as previously covered by The Zioneer. The ministry also provided a breakdown for the ceasefire period since October 2025: 992 killed and 3,144 wounded.
