Causualties Israel-Palestine 10/24/23: Gaza 5791 dead, 16297 wounded, Israel 1405 dead, 5431 wounded.
The latest death toll stands at 5,887 Palestinians and at least 1,405 people killed in Israel since October 7.
Here are the latest casualty figures as of October 24, 2.40pm local time (11:40 GMT):
Gaza
Killed: At least 5,791
Including at least:
2,360 children
1,292 women
Injured: More than 16,297
Occupied West Bank
Killed: At least 96
Injured: At least 1,828
Israel
Killed: At least 1,405
Injured: At least 5,431
TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY children. I don't care which side you're on, but this should make everybody intensely sad.
22The average age in Palestine is 19 so ~50% of civilians killed are going to be children. And for the survivors 53.5% of children in Palestine have PTSD and something like 80% show symptoms.

Whether the numbers are inflated or not doesn't really matter.
What really matters is that innocent people are being killed every day and a lot of those are kids.
That the humanitarian crisis is deepening every day.
That more than 1.4M people are displaced.
That Israel is bombing the area they suggested was a safe heaven.
That the people in Gaza are going through hell.
And sadly this won't solve anything and would only strengthen the position of Hamas and nurture another generation of broken people. After this, peace in the region would become even harder and there would be increase of the support for far right parties in Israel. And those parties will do everything in their power to continue antagonizing the Palestinian and Arab population both in the West Bank and also in Gaza. Nothing good would come out of it! And it saddens me immensely!
17if the people dying weren't essentially innocent bystanders, I would relish this shitshow of awful regimes practicing mutual annihilation.
7Why doesn't it include women and children counts for both?
6Because Al Jazeera is a biased source. If you want to look for yourself, you can go through a partial list of the Israeli fatalities here. Google translate is decent. Not all include an age, and Israelis have many unisex names.
9I can't trust either side. But I can guarantee that number is bigger than zero.

Israel: Hamas beheaded 40 babies
Israel: We never said that
Israel: But actually we have footage of it
Israel: But we're not going to show you
Israel: Ok some journalists can see it but they have to put their phones in Yondr™ pouches because we're filming a special for Netflix
5Israel indeed never said it. What I've seen is that some reporter that said that they beheaded babies, and 40 babies were killed, then somehow it for turned to 40 beheaded babies on social media.
So basically Israeli officials never claimed that.10
Why does Aljazeera spread nonsense numbers from terrorists that try to milk sympathy after live streaming the most horrendous and torture and murder?
Because people love it and jerk wildly to the ever higher number of dead people in Gaza.

Sickening. Israel is a barbaric fascist state
35791 - 2360 - 1292 = 2139 men of age.
Israel claims to have killed over 1,000 who invaded its territory on October 7th. Earlier reports were over 1,500.
On the northern front: Israel is reporting over 50 Hezbollah members having been killed since October 7th. Hezbollah have confirmed 7 (or 8, it's a little difficult to track only through liveblogs) members killed today (October 24th). Hamas has also claimed responsibility for several attacks on the northern border which Israel did claim having killed those responsible, but I don't see where or if those are being counted.
3It's hard to trust any of these numbers. 1 innocent death is 1 too many, but the numbers seem to come from Hamas and they have every incentive to inflate them.
Are Hamas fighters or legitimate targets being included in these figures for instance? The 500 dead at the "hospital" seen very dubious too given the scale of the actual destruction, it's unclear whether that number is included also.
4The Israeli numbers are largely backed up by multiple sources within the country: both media organizations and different governmental organizations. Historically, there are some names that aren't published as a matter of public policy (pilots, military personnel in classified positions, same stuff you'd see from any other western country).
Hamas 100% include their armed members. The hospital blast was for sure not 500, but I haven't seen any follow-up numbers from that incident. No clue if that is included in their running totals.

Aljazeera fails to mention that using civilian infrastructure as military installations is a warcrime and that those are legitimate war targets, therefore all those numbers are actually on Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Also huge doubt on the actual numbers themselves since it is, well, Aljazeera. Might as well listen to RT.
1Buddy, they live in an incredibly densely populated open-air prison. There's no option of using "military infrastructure" when it's incapable of existing in Gaza.
