Section entitled Israel Should be expanded

I came to this article looking for information on IDF casualties in the ground operation in Gaza. This information should be added along with information on casualties of attacks on civilians in Israel. I'm not able to do the edit due to restrictions on this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Droytenberg (talk • contribs) 16:15, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update

GHM has managed to list 34,344 Palestinians killed by Israeli attacks in the territory, publishing a list of names, ages, gender and ID numbers that cover more than 80% of Palestinians killed in the war so far.

The remaining 7,613 people included in its death toll, which is now above 41,000, are Palestinians whose bodies have been received by hospitals and morgues, but whose identities have not yet been confirmed.

Deaths from 'natural' causes

[https://www.qna.org.qa/en/News-Area/News/2024-09/12/0074-palestinian-government-report-number-of-natural-deaths-in-gaza-increased-by-more-than-six-times-due-to%C2%A0-israeli-aggression. Six times greater natural deaths is worth noting I believe - As far as I can make out this would mean another 50,000 'natural' deaths as the natural death rate is 3.8 per 1000 because the population iss very young. Is this what it means? NadVolum (talk) 11:56, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
