Israeli rescue teams evacuate injured people near the town of Sderot on October 7, 2023, following the large-scale attack by Hamas.
ISRAEL/HAMAS – This is an important communication made by the Israeli army this Friday, November 10. The IDF has in fact revised the death toll from the initial Hamas attack carried out on October 7 on its territory from 1,400 to 1,200 deaths.
However, in the evening, the ministry withdrew its initial explanations. “This is an updated estimate”Lior Haiat said in a new statement which does not provide an explanation for the new figure.
“Hamas terrorists murdered around 1,200 people in cold blood and kidnapped 240, including babies, children, women and the elderly”indicates this press release.
More than 11,000 dead in the Gaza Strip
The previous toll of 1,400 was gradually established in the week following the attacks and had remained stable since then.
The Israeli army also reports 37 soldiers dead since the start of the ground offensive.
This Friday, the Hamas Ministry of Health announced that 11,078 people, including 4,506 children, had been killed in Israeli bombings on the Gaza Strip since the start of the war.
