The IDF has accepted the estimate of the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry

Nobody gives a fuck if Hamas runs the Health Ministry and writing this over and over again won’t magically fix anything. Knock this shit off.

Anyway,

that approximately 71,000 Palestinians were killed during the Israel-Gaza war, noting that the number does not include missing residents who are potentially buried under rubble.

The IDF also said it is currently analyzing the data on the dead to see how many of them are combatants and how many are civilians. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, 71,667 Gazans have been killed by IDF fire since the beginning of the war on October 7, 2023.

The Ministry's tally includes only those killed directly by Israeli military fire in its tracking, not people who died of starvation or from diseases exacerbated by the war.

The records published by the Gaza Ministry of Health identify over 90 percent of the bodies by name and identification numbers, but do not distinguish between militants and civilians.

The data published by the Health Ministry regarding the dead and wounded in the Gaza Strip have been examined since the beginning of the war by many international organizations, governments, media outlets, and researchers, and there is broad agreement that they are reliable. Nevertheless, Israel has never officially accepted the number, and the Foreign Ministry has even called it "misleading and unreliable."

However, Israel has not refuted the data with contradictory information, and several studies have even raised the possibility that the death toll in Gaza is even higher than the Health Ministry reports. In June 2025, a study was released concluding that, as of January of that year, some 75,200 Gazans had died a violent death during the war, contradicting the Health Ministry's count of around 55,000 dead. At the time, more and more international experts concluded that the Health Ministry's data is reliable, and may even be very conservative.

Israeli army violence against Palestinians continues unabated, as official data shows over 99 percent of the military’s crimes go unindicted

Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced from the West Bank city of Tulkarem alone over the past year, authorities in the occupied territory said, as army and settler violence continue unabated.

Tulkarem Deputy Governor Faisal Salameh confirmed that the ongoing “aggression” for over a year has forced around 25,000 Palestinians to become displaced from the Tulkarem and Nour Shams refugee camps. They were compelled to leave their homes due to raids, the destruction of infrastructure, and the near-total closure of both camps.

Salameh explained that the first wave of displacement forced thousands of families to seek shelter in schools, mosques, hospitals, and charity offices, before stretching into a prolonged crisis.

The Israeli military has been occupying multiple West Bank refugee camps since January 2025, when it launched a massive operation in the territory beginning in the city of Jenin.

Since then, it has been carrying out a systematic campaign of destruction and displacement.

Earlier this month we revealed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is using a Palantir tool called ELITE to decide which neighborhoods to raid.

The tool lets ICE populate a map with potential deportation targets, bring up dossiers on each person, and view an address “confidence score” based on data sourced from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other government agencies. This is according to a user guide for ELITE 404 Media obtained.

404 Media is now publishing a version of that user guide so people can read it for themselves.

Senior U.S. military officials have informed the leadership of a key U.S. ally in the Middle East that President Donald Trump could authorize a U.S. attack on Iran this weekend, multiple sources have confirmed to Drop Site News. Strikes could commence as early as Sunday, the ally was informed, if the U.S. decides to move forward.

“This isn’t about the nukes or the missile program. This is about regime change,” said a former senior U.S. intelligence official who consults for Arab governments and is an informal advisor to the Trump administration on Middle East policy.

He told Drop Site that U.S. war planners envision attacks that target nuclear, ballistic, and other military sites around Iran, but will also aim to decapitate the Iranian government, and in particular the leadership and capabilities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The IRGC is a branch of the Iranian armed forces created after the country’s 1979 revolution whose leadership now plays a major role in the country’s politics and economy.

Two senior Arab intelligence officials told Drop Site that they received word a U.S. attack could come “imminently.”
