Palestinians Mark 1,000 Days Since Israel Began Full-Scale Assault on Gaza

HeadlineJul 02, 2026

Palestinians are marking 1,000 days since Israel began its full-scale war on the Gaza Strip. According to Gaza’s Government Media Office, Israel’s scorched-earth campaign has killed over 73,000 Palestinians, with nearly 10,000 missing, most believed to be buried under rubble. Israel has dropped nearly a quarter-million metric tons of explosives across Gaza, equivalent to 16 atomic bombs like the one the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima.
