Israel revises Hamas attack death toll to 'around 1,200'
Israel revises Hamas attack death toll to 'around 1,200'
Reminds me of a Saturday Night Live joke from years ago…
“Russia announced today that 31 people died from the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, but they would like to remind everyone that, while tragic, it’s still a far cry from the 400 who died during the Stalinist Purges.”
Israel's military brought together a group of foreign correspondents to screen a 40-minute reel of gruesome footage compiled from the Hamas attack last week. The footage showed a burnt baby, a dumpster full of burnt bodies and gunmen shooting at already slain civilians in cars. The screening Monday came as Israel's military faces increasing pressure to back up their claims of atrocities committed by the militants. Israel is preventing vital supplies from reaching the Gaza Strip, bombarding the territory with airstrikes, and planning a ground invasion in retaliation for the attack.
I don’t know if you’re referring to Gaza or Israel on October 7th, but here’s a press conference about the burned bodies.
