A former IDF chief backed up the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty count
The daily massacres in Gaza have continued, with the Gaza Health Ministry reporting 68 deaths across the Strip. Dozens of people were killed by the Israeli bombardment of Gaza City.
Officials in Gaza recorded 68 deaths from the war, 346 injuries, and two Palestinians starved to death on Sunday. Many of the deaths occurred in Gaza City, where Israel is ramping up its military operation and destroying the infrastructure in the city.
Over the past day, Israeli bombs have destroyed homes, high rises, shelters, and medical facilities. The Gaza Health Ministry reported 32 Palestinians were killed during the bombardment on Sunday.

The Gaza Health Ministry reported 32 Palestinians were killed during the bombardment in the city on Sunday.
The death toll published by the Gaza Health Ministry is considered an undercount as it does not include Palestinians who are buried under the rubble. Since October 7, 2023, over 64,800 have been killed and around 165,000 wounded, according to the ministry.
While Israel and its apologists in the US have often argued that the Health officials’ figures are an overcount, the former chief of the IDF provided a similar estimate. The former IDF Chief of Staff said “more than 200,000 people,” or about 10% of Gaza’s prewar population, have been killed or injured.
“This isn’t a gentle war. We took the gloves off from the first minute. Sadly not earlier,” he added.
