More than 200,000 Israelis returned to country since start of war
The Times of Israel reported this citing a report by the Knesset, according to Ukrinform.
The Knesset report did not detail breakdowns of why the Israelis returned and whether they subsequently joined the war effort.
According to Sky News, the HAMAS-run health ministry in Gaza reported that the number of Palestinians killed in the conflict has risen over 6,000.
It said at least 6,546 people, including 2,704 children, have been killed, and a further 17,439 wounded since 7 October.
As reported, in the morning on October 7, the Palestinian Islamist group HAMAS launched an attack on Israel. The militants broke through into the country, simultaneously launching a massive missile strike. The invasion was accompanied by mass killings of civilians.
Israel officially declared a state of war, mobilized 300,000 reservists, and began destroying military facilities and terrorist leaders.
On October 14, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that a 'new stage' of the war against Hamas was approaching.
The US, EU, Ukraine and a number of other countries condemned the attacks on Israel.
