Israel revises Hamas attack death toll to 'around 1,200'
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.
Reminds me of a Saturday Night Live joke from years ago...
"Russia announced today that 31 people died from the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, but they would like to remind everyone that, while tragic, it's still a far cry from the 400 who died during the Stalinist Purges."
Yeah it is really funny when they have to make human bodypart puzzles to find out how many people died and also analyze the charred remains of people that were bound together and then burned so they couldn’t say the if it was just one dead person or more.
I keep reading descriptions of these scenes on social media, but none with links to corroborated reports from reputable outlets. I am reluctant to believe these stories since the '40 beheaded babies' claim was debunked. Do you have a link to a good report, preferably without a pay wall?
Yay another excuse to kill more civvies. Bunch of morons on both sides

The numbers are lower now though
Bunch of morons on both sides
I'm not sure I'd call Hamas morons honestly. Hamas, while committing war crimes against both Israelis and Palestinians, have formulated a situation that seems to have made a huge swath of people completely ignore that. They're fighting an information war very successfully through effective disinformation campaigns.
Netanyahu and company are a bunch of morons though, which is why the Israelis want to boot them from office.
