AI Summary

In a recent briefing, Israeli military officials acknowledged the death toll in Gaza has reached approximately 70,000, aligning closely with figures reported by the Palestinian Ministry of Health. This acknowledgment marks a significant shift from earlier skepticism regarding the health ministry's counts, which Israel attributed to Hamas influence. The Palestinian Ministry reported a total of 71,667 deaths and 171,343 injuries since the war began, including casualties during the recent ceasefire. The IDF has not officially confirmed these figures, stating that any official data will be released through proper channels, leaving the exact number of civilian versus militant casualties unclear.
