The Gaza Health Ministry has been documenting the deaths of Palestinians from the Israeli onslaught and reporting the number of people killed. The current toll stands at 71,667 Palestinians, with hundreds of thousands injured.
The health ministry’s numbers have long been dismissed by pro-Israeli voices as “Hamas propaganda.” However, the IDF is now supporting the ministry’s figures.
The IDF says it is now reviewing the Gaza Health Ministry’s data to determine how many militants were killed. Last year, +972 Magazine obtained IDF data that showed at least 83% of the Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers in Gaza were civilians.
