"Since 7 Oct 2023, more than 44,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 104,000 wounded, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Israel has destroyed large parts of Gaza and displaced nearly all of its 2.3 million people. The IDF claims that 17,000 of these casualties were militants. In the West Bank, 760 Palestinians have been killed and more than 12,769 injured by IDF personnel or Settlers since Oct 2023.

1) This means 27,000 Palestinians were KIA as collateral damage in the Gaza Strip. No trial or hearing.

2) On average, 3,384 Palestinians have been killed each month since Oct 2023. GOP President-elect Donald Trump takes office 20 Jan 2025.
