The death toll stemming from clashes between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas has topped 10,000.
JERUSALEM — The death toll stemming from clashes between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas has topped 10,000 on Wednesday, with no signs of a let-up in Israeli attacks against the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip since the war began last month.
Meanwhile, dozens of people from Gaza arrived in Egypt through the Rafah crossing on Wednesday, The Associated Press reported, saying it appears to be the first time foreign passport holders have been allowed to leave Gaza since the war began following the Oct. 7 surprise attack by Hamas on the Jewish nation.
The evacuees reportedly include five Japanese citizens, such as those who work for the United Nations as well as aid group Medecins Sans Frontieres, also known by its English name Doctors Without Borders.
