STORYLINE:
Smoke and explosions could be seen in the Gaza Strip on Friday as Israeli forces backed by fighter jets and drones carried out a second ground raid into Gaza in as many days.

Targets were struck on the outskirts of Gaza City, according to the Israeli military.

The Palestinian death toll has soared past 7,000 as Israel has carried out waves of devastating airstrikes in response to a bloody Hamas incursion into southern Israel on Oct. 7.

The Health Ministry in Gaza, which tracks the toll, released a detailed list of names and identification numbers on Thursday.

The toll includes more than 2,900 minors and more than 1,500 women.

The overall number of deaths far exceeds the combined toll of all four previous wars between Israel and Hamas, estimated at around 4,000.

More than 1,400 people in Israel, mostly civilians, were slain during the initial Hamas attack, according to the Israeli government.

Hamas is holding at least 229 captives inside Gaza, including men, women, children and older adults.
