'Israeli' army finally admits Gaza death toll surpasses 71,000

After years of denial and attempts to discredit Palestinian data, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) have finally acknowledged the grim reality of their aggression on Gaza, accepting the Health Ministry's toll of over 71,000 Palestinians martyred since October 7, 2023.
For over two years, the "Israeli" government dismissed the figures provided by the Gaza Health Ministry as "unreliable" and "misleading." However, a new report confirms that the IOF now accepts these numbers as an accurate baseline.
This admission comes at a time when international experts warn that the true toll, including those lost under the rubble of entire neighborhoods, is likely far higher.
While 'Israel' claims to be "analyzing" the data to distinguish between combatants and civilians, the reality on the ground tells a different story:
- Targeting Children: Of the 71,667 martyred, a significant majority are women and children.
- The Invisible Dead: The tally does not include thousands missing under the debris or those who have perished from the "silent killers" of the war, famine and untreated disease.
- Winter’s Toll: As a fragile ceasefire persists, the cold is now claiming the lives of infants in makeshift tents, with at least 11 child deaths reported due to exposure this month alone.
Media Silence and the "Digital Siege"
The timing of this admission, coming long after much of the world’s attention has shifted, highlights a growing concern over the "digital war" on Palestinian narratives.
Regional media outlets, including Roya News, have faced consistent censorship from tech giants like Meta, which have been accused of retroactively deleting evidence of human rights violations in Gaza.
Despite the international community’s waning focus, the humanitarian catastrophe remains "catastrophic," as described by UN officials. With 92% of the population displaced and infrastructure in ruins, the admission by the IOF serves as a cold reminder of the scale of the "Israeli" aggression that the world chose to ignore.
