On 7 October 2023, 1,139 Israelis and foreign nationals, including 764 civilians, were killed, and 248 persons taken hostage during the initial attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip.[2][12][13] Since then, over 26,751 Palestinians (the majority of whom were women and children) in the Gaza Strip have been killed according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The Gaza Health Ministry does not distinguish between combatant and civilian casualties in its reports. The IDF and US intelligence estimate Israel killed 5,000-9,000 Hamas combatants as of 21 January 2024.[14] A further 320 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank by Israel military and settlers.[15] Casualties have also occurred in other parts of Israel, as well as in southern Lebanon, and Syria.[16]
