Helloooo…!? Heloooo…!? Anybody homeeee…?!?
JERUSALEM, Nov 10 (Reuters) – A spokesperson for Israel’s foreign ministry said on Friday that the death toll from the Oct. 7 Hamas attack in southern Israel had been revised to around 1,200 from a previous government estimate of 1,400.
“Around 1,200 is the official number of victims of the October 7 massacre,” spokesperson Lior Haiat said in a written statement.
Haiat said the figure had been updated on Thursday. He did not provide a reason for the revision.
In fact, even that number isn’t correct. According to the published list of names, slightly less than 1,100 Israelis died on October 7, of which 400 were soldiers and other members of the security forces. Alas, indiscriminate fire by the IDF is responsible for at least a few hundred killed civilians, both in Kibbutz Be’eri and in the case of the rave party.
So I’m really begging you, stop with the 1400 massacred non-combatants, because it’s simply not true, and it won’t be no matter how many times you repeat it…
