What the evidence says 01 / RECORD

The figure of roughly 1,200 people killed matches Israel's official government estimate for the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack. Israel's Foreign Ministry revised the toll down from an earlier count of about 1,400 to around 1,200 in November 2023, after officials concluded that some previously counted unidentified bodies were likely Hamas attackers rather than victims. Officials described 1,200 as an updated estimate that includes Israeli civilians, security personnel, and foreign nationals, not a final tally. The approximately 1,200 figure has since become the standard number cited by governments and major news organizations.
