The ministry said in a statement that another 9,600 people were injured.
About 1,500 Palestinian fighters have been killed in battles with terrorists on Israeli territory.
As reported, since the beginning of the invasion by the Palestinian Islamist groups “Hamas” and “Islamic Jihad” on the morning of October 7, the number of people murdered in Israel has exceeded 1,300.
Among the victims, the absolute majority are civilians, and 286 Israeli soldiers have died in battles with terrorists so far.
The Israeli army confirmed on Sunday that 126 hostages who were taken during the October 7 attack are in the hands of Palestinian militants.
Previously, it was estimated that the terrorists took about 150 hostages.
The number of people who could be held captive by the Palestinians has been reduced, as new bodies of terrorist victims were found in places that Hamas fighters managed to seize on October 7 in the south of Israel.
The army reports that the bodies of some hostages were also found during reconnaissance operations in the territory of the Gaza Strip, but the number is not mentioned.
Meanwhile, Hamas claims that 22 hostages were killed in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, but the terrorists have not provided any evidence for this.
