'Israeli' sergeant accidentally admits Gaza death toll far higher than reported

In a heated interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan, an 'Israeli' army sergeant appeared to acknowledge that the death toll in Gaza may be significantly higher than official Palestinian figures.

During the exchange, Sergeant Benjamin Anthony claimed that 'Israel' had killed 30,000 fighters in Gaza and admitted that “for every fighter, two civilians” were also killed. When pressed on the math, his statement indicated a total of roughly 90,000 Palestinian deaths, far higher than the 60,000 deaths reported by the Gaza health ministry.

Morgan immediately challenged the figure, remarking, “Don’t worry about my interviewing skills, you worry about your maths.” The exchange quickly drew attention online, with critics accusing the 'Israeli' spokesperson of inadvertently confirming a death toll that surpasses already staggering estimates.

Observers say the remarks could undermine efforts by 'Israeli' officials to cast doubt on the accuracy of Gaza’s health ministry figures. For months, 'Israeli' authorities have insisted that the ministry’s casualty reports are exaggerated, while international organizations such as the United Nations and the World Health Organization have frequently cited those same figures as credible.
