  "account": "Gaza's civil defense rescue service reported on Thursday that seven individuals lost their lives due to Israeli strikes throughout the day. The Israeli military confirmed that three of the victims were military operatives from terrorist organizations. Two other casualties were a woman and a child who perished when a residential building in Gaza City was bombed by Israeli aircraft. Additionally, a woman was killed by artillery shelling in Gaza City. One person was reported dead southeast of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. The Israeli army stated they were investigating the reports regarding the remaining four victims. Since the ceasefire was declared in October of the previous year, Israeli forces have claimed the lives of at least 1,450 people in Gaza. According to Gaza's health ministry, the toll has exceeded 74,200, including more than 74,200 fatalities. The ministry does not differentiate between militants and civilians. Hamas vehemently denied Israeli allegations that it utilizes Gaza hospitals for military purposes, dismissing the accusations as \"criminal incitement.\"",
  "summary": "Six of the seven were killed in different parts of Gaza City, with the Israeli military saying it had targeted 'military operatives in terrorist organisations'.",
