Israel's military now accepts Hamas's figure of over 70,000 Palestinian war dead in Gaza. This marks a shift from previous Israeli skepticism regarding casualty numbers. The war began after Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack. The UN and human rights groups have previously deemed Hamas-provided figures reliable, widely used by international media. The conflict has resulted in significant loss of life on both sides, with ongoing efforts to verify casualty counts and understand the war's full impact.
