Protesters in Cotabato City waved Palestinian flags and chanted slogans expressing their support. The Gaza Health Ministry said 2,750 Palestinians have been killed and 9,700 wounded since the fighting erupted, more than in the 2014 Gaza war, which lasted over six weeks. That makes this the deadliest of the five Gaza wars for both sides. More than 1,400 Israelis have died, the vast majority civilians killed in Hamas’ October 7 assault. The Israeli military said on Monday that at least 199 hostages were taken back in Gaza, higher than previous estimates.
