The Israeli army has accepted the accuracy of the Palestinian health ministry's death toll in Gaza, after years of refusing to acknowledge it reports. According to Haaretz, the army said the death toll of around 71,000 killed is largely correct, adding that it did not include those buried under the rubble. The Israeli government had for years refused to accept the death tolls reported by the health ministry in Gaza, even branding it "misleading and unreliable". The army said it was analysing the data, which also does not include those who died of starvation or from diseases exacerbated by Israel's years-long genocide in Gaza. Hamas said that Israel must comply with the full implementation of the ceasefire framework, particularly the entry of aid and its complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
