The three were identified as Shani Louk, Amit Buskila and Yitzhak Gelernter. Israel's military said they had been killed by Hamas militants when they attacked a music festival on Oct. 7.
Here's a closer look at the United Nations' breakdown of casualties. The overall total of more than 35,000 Palestinians killed since Oct. 7, based on Gaza Health Ministry figures, has not declined.
The United Nations says 7,500 metric tons of unexploded ordnance litter the Gaza Strip. The U.N. says it could take 14 years to dispose of these dangers.
Israel's military issued new evacuation orders in Gaza's southernmost city of Rafah, forcing even more Palestinians to relocate on Saturday ahead of a likely expanded ground operation there.
Hamas said it accepted a proposal for a cease-fire. Israel responded that the deal didn't meet its requirements and announced it was pushing ahead with an assault in Rafah.
The Israeli military on Monday ordered tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians in Rafah to evacuate, a move indicating Israel's offensive on Gaza's southmost area could be imminent.
As local elected officials continue to face pressure to pass resolutions calling for an end to the fighting in Gaza, some aren't sure how or whether to take a stand at all.
For months, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been insisting that the goal of Israel's bombardment in Gaza is to "destroy Hamas."
But in the path of that destruction, more than 33,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed. Regular people, entire families, and more than 13,000 children.
Yet, it's not clear if Israel is any closer to its stated goal of destroying Hamas. In fact, is it possible that the horrors of this war could ignite a cycle of radicalization in the region?

Almost everyone fled Sderot after Hamas militants killed 50 residents and visitors on Oct. 7. Now most have returned, but soldiers are guarding schools and residents are traumatized and feel insecure.
The Justice Department has taken an active — and public — stand against alleged Russian war crimes in Ukraine. But it's been nearly silent on possible war crimes in the Israel-Hamas war.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan described a "business-like" meeting between two leaders with different perspectives about the proposed military operation for the city of Rafah in Gaza.
One of the most pro-Palestinian nations in the world is not an Arab or Muslim country. It's not even in the Middle East. Polls show Ireland has some of the highest support for the Palestinians.
On Oct. 7, Gaza militants killed Carmit Palty Katzir's father and took her mother and brother hostage. Her mother was released, but Katzir fears time is running out to get her brother back alive.
