New Revelation: IDF Suggests Palestinian Estimates for Gaza Strip Conflict Death Toll May Be Accurate
In an unexpected turn of events, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have suggested that the estimates provided by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza Strip may be accurate. According to a report in the “Wall Street Journal,” the IDF estimated that between 11-13 thousand Hamas fighters and others were killed during the recent conflict, with two civilians killed for each fighter, resulting in a total of 33-39 thousand deaths.
Initially, the Israeli government was skeptical of these Palestinian assessments, with sources close to the government expressing doubts about the reliability of the data. There were also concerns raised about how accurately the breakdown of data reflected gender and age groups. However, after careful evaluation, the IDF has suggested that the overall numbers reported by the Palestinian Ministry of Health could be accurate.
It’s worth noting that some civilians were killed as a result of actions taken by terrorists, including missiles that veered off course. Despite this, it appears that overall death toll estimates from both sides may be closer than initially thought.
