Israel revises Hamas attack death toll to 'around 1,200' - Lemmy.World

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.”

Yeah it is really funny when they have to make human bodypart puzzles to find out how many people died and also analyze the charred remains of people that were bound together and then burned so they couldn’t say the if it was just one dead person or more.
My understanding was that the burnt bodies were from the IDF shelling of buildings with militants and hostages in them. Did you have additional evidence I didn’t catch?
Israeli video compilation shows the savagery and ease of Hamas' attack

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.

Right. So we’re not going on much here.

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.
