The figure was raised during recent discussions within the Israeli security establishment, the newspaper said, citing two unnamed sources familiar with the matter. Haaretz said most of the remains belong to Palestinians from the Gaza Strip who took part in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel or subsequent fighting. Some of the remains, however, belong to Palestinians who were not involved in the fighting, the report said. The Israeli regime has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians and injured over 174,000 in a genocidal war since October 2023. The war has also caused widespread destruction, affecting 90% of the enclave’s infrastructure.
