470 bloody days: What world records did the Zionist regime set in committing crimes and killings?
After the implementation of the ceasefire agreement between the Israeli regime and Hamas, it is now possible to better address the various angles of the regime’s crimes in the Gaza Strip. In fact, the regime has left new records in terms of destruction and killing in the more than 450 days that it subjected the region to heavy air bombardment and all-out ground attacks.
Killing of children
Different statistics have been presented on the number of Palestinian martyrs in Gaza. According to official statistics, the number of victims in the Israeli regime’s attacks from October 7, 2023, to Saturday, January 18, 2025, which is about 470 days of aggression, has reached 48,876 martyrs and 110,642 injured. However, a study published in January 2025 by researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in the Lancet magazine estimated that 64,260 people in Gaza died from traumatic injuries between October 7, 2023, and the end of June.
If we rely only on official statistics, more than 17,000 of the victims of this war are children. James Elder, a spokesman for the United Nations Children’s Fund, recently announced: “35 Palestinians are losing their lives every day in the Gaza Strip. Our estimates show that the number of Palestinian children who have died in Gaza is higher than the figure announced by the Palestinian Ministry of Health. The ministry had stated that 15,000 Palestinian children have died. Since the beginning of 2025 alone, an average of 10 Palestinian children have lost their lives in Gaza every day.”
Killing of women and the elderly
Women and the elderly have been among the most important victims of the Gaza war. Among the martyrs of the Israeli regime’s attacks in Gaza, more than 12,300 people are women. Pregnant women have been among the biggest victims of this war. According to UN statistics, more than 60,000 pregnant women in Gaza are at serious risk due to the lack of health care. According to statistics from the European Medical Human Rights Monitor (euro med human rights monitor), 2,122 elderly men and women were martyred in September 2024 during the Zionist regime’s genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
