The Israeli military killed at least 710 Palestinian babies before they made it to their first birthday, the equivalent of two infants under one-year-old killed by Israel every day for nearly a year. That’s according to a 649-page document published by the Ministry of Health in Gaza on Sunday listing the names of tens of thousands Palestinians killed by Israel between October 7 and August 31.
A brief breakdown of the numbers killed:
Babies (Less that one year old): 710
Toddlers, 1-3: 1,793
Children, 4-12: 5,410
Children, 13-17: 3,442
Total number under 18 years old killed: 11,355
Men, 18-40: 10,396
Women, 18-40: 4,540
Men, 41-59: 3,341
Women, 41-59: 1,757
Men, 60 and over: 1,818
Women, 60 and over: 1,137
While the Biden administration, Israeli authorities, and others have repeatedly cast doubt on the health ministry’s figures, those numbers have proven accurate in past conflicts. Both the United Nations and even Israel’s intelligence services have accepted them.
Now you’re just making things up.
The intensity of combat operations has calmed down considerably over time.
