On that day, Hamas killed about 1,200 people and kidnapped 251 others. Some of them died in
captivity. Israel then attacked Gaza. Palestinian health authorities say Israel is killed more than 73,000 people, including women and children. The Gaza health officials do not say how many of the dead are Hamas militants. A ceasefire has been a place in Gaza for eight months, but Israel has killed about 1,000 Palestinians in that timeframe.
