In reply to the discussion: Question: Have Israelis, including military, been dying in this 'war' in any numbers since Oct 7, 2023? [View all]AloeVera
(4,267 posts)11. That is not correct. You are including Oct 7
Your figures include casualties on Oct 7th.
The question was SINCE Oct 7th.
Per the Israeli military and PM's office, as summarized in this AP article Apr 6th.
256 IDF soldiers killed during the ground offensive in Gaza.
Civilians killed since Oct. 7 in Israel along its northern border: 9
Israeli soldiers killed along Israels northern front since Oct. 7: 11
I'm reading this as no Israelis, civilian or military, inside Israel killed by Hamas rockets or attacks since Oct 7.
Also as around 130 Palestinians killed for every Israeli soldier killed in Gaza.

OP
I did. "Since" is ambiguous and can be either inclusive of a date, or exclusive.

So only questions in which you have "truly no idea" of the possible answer

I think you did with your comment about my "intellectually dishonest" question.

Don't forget the unknown number of civilian hostages killed in Gaza since Oct 7.

Sadly, you are probably right, many of them are dead, caught in Israeli bombings or by neglect and abuse

I'm not sure if the "Genocide Joe" crowd understands that many Hamas fighters are in that number

Certainly no one here on DU (other than some rando, spun up burner troll accounts that are quickly MIRT'd)

Question: Were Gazans, including military, dying in this 'war' in any numbers before Oct 7, 2023?
