15 Palestinians arrived at Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza on Thursday after being released by Israeli authorities through the Red Cross. The Israeli military has reportedly accepted the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty counts of over 71,667 Palestinians killed since October 7, 2023, with thousands still unaccounted for and buried under the rubble. It also warned of continued “unravelling” in the occupied West Bank amid intensified Israeli military operations, settlement expansion, settler violence, demolitions, and mass detentions, citing recent raids in Jenin, Nablus, Hebron, and Ramallah. Israeli military accepts Gaza Health Ministry casualty count: The Israeli military has accepted the figures issued by Gaza’s Health Ministry on the number of Palestinians killed in Israel’s war on Gaza, according to Haaretz. In January 2024, Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham first reported that the Israeli military found the ministry’s numbers reliable and regularly used them internally in intelligence briefings.
