As of 1 December, around 1,332[citation needed] Israelis have been killed since 7 October (inclusive),[10] including 395 IDF soldiers, 10 Shin Bet agents and 59 police officers,[11] and at least 1,271 have been wounded.[12] The casualties also include approximately 70 dead or missing Arab-Israeli citizens, many of whom are Negev Bedouin.[13][14][15] 14 Israeli children under 10 and 36 adolescents aged between 10 and 19 were initially believed to have been killed in the 7 October attack.[16]

On 7 October, there were massacres at more than nine kibbutzim where civilians resided and at an outdoor dance music festival. Over 260 attendees were killed at the psychedelic trance open-air "Supernova Sukkot Gathering" music festival near the Re'im kibbutz. It became the deadliest concert attack ever and the worst Israeli civilian massacre in its history.[17] Over 100 civilians were killed in the Be'eri massacre, including children. Many of the kibbutz residents among the dead or missing were peace activists,[18] such as the 74-year-old Vivian Silver, a former board member of the human rights organisation B'Tselem.[19] At least 50–100 people have been reported killed in the Kfar Aza massacre, with the total death toll unknown.[20] Filmmaker Yahav Winner was killed in Kfar Aza. Many civilians were also killed in the Nahal Oz massacre. Nine people were fatally shot at a bus shelter in Sderot,[21] and at least fourteen were killed by gunfire and grenades at a roadside bomb shelter near Re'im.[22] At least four people were reported killed in Kuseife.[23] At least 400 casualties were reported in Ashkelon,[24][25] while 280 others were reported in Beer Sheva, 60 of whom were in serious condition.[21] In the north, injuries from rocket attacks were reported in Tel Aviv.[26]

Former Hapoel Tel Aviv F.C. striker Lior Asulin was among those killed in the Re'im music festival massacre.[27] The head of the Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council, Ofir Libstein, was killed in an exchange of fire with the militants.[28] The police commander of Rahat, Jayar Davidov, was also killed.[29] Izhar Peled, a police officer, was killed in Kfar Aza. The IDF confirmed that 258 of its soldiers had been killed.[30] Among their confirmed dead were Colonel Yonatan Steinberg, the commander of the Nahal Brigade, who was killed near Kerem Shalom; Colonel Roi Levy, commander of the Multidimensional "Ghost" unit, who was killed near Kibbutz Re'im;[31][32] and Lieutenant Colonel Eli Ginsberg, commander of the LOTAR Counter-terrorism Unit School.[33] The Druze deputy commander of the 300th "Baram" Regional Brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Alim Abdallah, was killed in action along with two other soldiers while responding to an infiltration from southern Lebanon on 9 October.[34] Lieutenant-Colonel Salman Habaka was killed in Jabalia on 2 November 2023. Israeli peace activist Hayim Katsman was killed in Holit.

Journalists in Israel[edit]

According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, four journalists in Israel were killed, including Roy Edan and Yaniv Zohar.[35]

Migrant workers[edit]

At least 50 migrant workers, primarily from Thailand and Nepal, were killed during Hamas' attack on 7 October and around 100,000 migrant workers are trapped in Israel during the conflict due to debt from large fees they had to pay to recruitment agencies to obtain the jobs.[36]

Revision of casualty numbers[edit]

On 10 November, Israel revised its casualty count from 1,400 to 1,200 after concluding that many of the identified bodies were those of Hamas fighters.[37][38] This included 859 civilians,[39] 283 soldiers,[40][41] 57 policemen,[42] and 10 Shin Bet members.[43]

In December 2023, using social security data, this was further revised to 1,139: 695 Israeli civilians (including 36 children), 71 foreign nationals, and 373 security forces.[3] There are additionally five people classed as missing, including four Israelis.[3] The deaths included 36 children, of whom 20 were under 15 years old and the youngest was a 10-month-old baby.[3]

The Gaza Strip suffered massive civilian casualties from Israeli bombardment.[45][46] As of 1 January, the Gaza Health Ministry reports that at least 22,000 Palestinians (including 6,150 children) have been killed, 36,000 injured, and 7,000 are missing under rubble, totaling over 58,000 casualties since the war began, which is about 2.4% of Gaza's 2.3 million population. As a result, this became the bloodiest war ever fought during the Arab-Israeli conflict, eclipsing the combined death toll of the First Intifada, Second Intifada, Operation Cast Lead, and Operation Protective Edge.[47][48] The high number of casualties has been attributed to Israeli tactics and large-scale bombing, which in some cases has left entire towns completely destroyed and uninhabitable.[49][50]

An analysis by the Open University of Israel placed the percentage of civilian casualties in Gaza at around 61 percent, higher than the average civilian death rate in all world conflicts "from the Second World War to the 1990s."[51] The number of casualties is higher than in any conflict in Gaza's recent history, with Neta Crawford of the Costs of War Project at Brown University stating, "This is, in the 21st century, a significant and out-of-the-norm level of destruction".[52] On 31 December, Al Jazeera stated 2023 was the deadliest year for Palestinians since the 1948 Nakba.[53]

On 3 November, at least 10 cemetery workers were killed by an Israeli airstrike while working at a graveyard in Beit Lahia.[54] On 4 November, an unnamed Israeli official claimed that around 20,000 people had been killed in Gaza, "most of them terrorists."[55] On 14 November, two volleyball players Hassan Zuaiter and Ibrahim Qusaya were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Jabalia refugee camp.[56] As of 1 December, 102 UNRWA employees in Gaza had been killed in Israeli airstrikes.[57] On 29 December, UNRWA reported 308 people had been killed in UNRWA shelters.[58] Euro-Med Monitor reported the IDF was taking and holding Palestinian bodies from Gaza, calling for an international investigation on organ theft suspicions.[59]

According to the Gaza Health Ministry, at least 50 people were killed by Israeli strikes on Jabalia on October 31 and November 1.[60] Significant civilian casualties were reported following the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion, the Jabalia camp airstrike on October 31st, and the Fakhoora school airstrike on November 4. Other mass casualty events included the Church of Saint Porphyrius airstrike and the al-Shati refugee camp airstrike, as well as numerous attacks on refugee camps, schools, and healthcare facilities.

Children[edit]

On 25 October, Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani noted the death toll of children in Gaza had already exceeded the total number killed in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[61] The total civilian death toll would surpass Ukraine's total of 9,614, as of 10 September 2023,[62] including around 600 children,[63] some days later, but in a fraction of Ukraine's war duration. In a statement, UNICEF regional director Adele Khodr stated Gaza's child death toll was a "growing stain on our collective conscience".[64] On October 28, the number of families who had been killed entirely had risen to 825.[65] On 30 October, Save the Children reported more children had died in three weeks in Gaza than in the entire sum of conflicts around the world in the past four years.[66] UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini briefed the UN Security Council, sharing Save the Children's analysis.[67]

Impacts[edit]

On 13 October, the Palestinian Ministry of Health noted 20 surnames had been removed from Gaza's civil registry, meaning every single person in that entire family had been killed.[68] The Financial Times reported that the loss of large family groups was "tearing holes in Gaza's social fabric."[69] The New York Times stated, "Family trees have been dismembered, and whole branches obliterated."[70]

On 16 October, UNRWA stated there were so many deaths in Gaza that there were no longer enough body bags.[71] Because the morgues were so overcrowded, bodies were contained in ice cream trucks.[72][73] On 11 November, Monir al-Bashr, the director of the health ministry in Gaza, stated graves were being dug by hand.[74] On 12 November, Mai al-Kaila noted staff at Al-Shifa were unable to bury 100 decomposing bodies.[75] On 14 November, the Palestinian Red Crescent noted it was unable to rescue the wounded and injured beneath the rubble, noting, "Those injured are left there in agony to suffer and die with no response to their calls of help."[76]

Death toll[edit]

On 25 October, US President Joe Biden stated he had "no confidence" in the death totals reported by the Gaza Health Ministry.[77][78] In response, Human Rights Watch stated that after three decades working in Gaza and conducting its own investigation, it considers Gaza Health Ministry's totals to be reliable.[78] Matthew Miller made a similar claim to Biden, despite the fact that the US Department of State cites the Gaza Health Ministry's death tolls in its own internal reports.[79] On 26 October, the Gaza Health Ministry responded by releasing a 212-page document of 6,747 individual names and ID numbers, as well as 281 unidentified fatalities.[80] The US State Department Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs told a Congressional hearing on 9 November that the death toll was "very high, frankly, and it could be that they're even higher than are being cited."[81]

Every death registered in Gaza is the result of a verified change in the population registry approved by the Government of Israel.[82] The Israeli government notes that its "Population Registry Office works to update population registry files located on the Israeli side to match the files that are held" in the West Bank and Gaza.[83] On 26 October, the United Nations humanitarian office added they use the Gaza Ministry of Health's death totals because they are "clearly sourced".[84] Yara Asi, a professor at the University of Central Florida, called Biden's statement "appalling."[85] On 6 December, a peer-reviewed article in The Lancet concluded the Gaza Ministry of Health's death tolls were accurate.[86]

Around mid-November, the Gaza Health Ministry had begun to lose count of deaths stating that it struggled to update casualty tolls as a result of blackouts, high death tolls, and the collapse of the healthcare system.[87][88]

Journalists in Gaza[edit]

Militants[edit]

The Gaza Health Ministry does not distinguish between combatant and civilian casualties in its reports,[119] nor between different cause of death. On 13 November, IDF forces killed Hamas senior intelligence official Mohammed Dababish and anti-tank system head Yaakub A'ashur.[120] An Israeli official said that about 5,000 militants had been killed by the beginning of December 2023, with the 2:1 civilian to militant death ratio.[121] Analyst Hamdah Salhut, however, stated Israel had provided no evidence to support the numbers it was claiming.[122] As of December 29, IDF spokesperson Major Doron Spielman provided an updated number of 8,000 Hamas fighters killed since the conflict in Gaza so far, "based on intelligence, the interrogations of captives as well as satellite photos".[123]

As of December 30, 2023 Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor estimated Gaza Strip deaths as 30,034 total and civilian deaths at 27,681 which would mean about 2,353 militant deaths.[124]

West Bank[edit]

In the West Bank, related violence during the conflict killed 243 Palestinians and wounded at least 2,472.[125] Several thousand Gazan workers were in Israel at the time when the conflict started. As of 16 October some of them were detained at a "holding facility" in the West Bank while others sought refuge in the Palestinian communities of the West Bank.[126] The Minister of Labor for the Palestinian Authority estimated 4,500 workers are unaccounted for while Israeli media outlet N12 reported 4,000 Gazans were in Israeli holding facilities. The Palestinian Prisoners Society said that Israeli forces had arrested over 1,450 West Bank Palestinians since 7 October.[127] On 29 October, thirty Israeli human rights organizations addressed settler violence in the West Bank, asking the international community to "act urgently" to end it.[128] On 30 October, the German government called on Israel to protect Palestinians in the West Bank.[129] On 31 October, EU chief diplomat Josep Borrell "firmly condemned" settler attacks in the West Bank.[130] Linda Thomas-Greenfield stated the United States was "deeply concerned," and condemned the killings of Palestinians in the West Bank.[131]

The Nepali ambassador to Israel, Kanta Rijal, said at least seven of its nationals in the country were injured in the attack, and that they along with ten others were held captive by Hamas at Kibbutz Alumim.[147] The Nepalese embassy later confirmed that 10 Nepalese students were killed during the attack in the kibbutz.[190] Israeli media also reported that migrant workers from Thailand and the Philippines were also taken captive by Palestinian militants.[21] The Philippine government confirmed that four Filipinos were killed[160] while two others were injured in the attacks, with authorities verifying reports of Filipinos being held captive by Hamas. 26 Filipinos were rescued by Israeli security forces,[191][192][193] while two Filipinos were unaccounted for.[160] At least 28 Thais were killed and 17 were captured by Hamas at Kibbutz Alumim. The reason for Hamas attacking the foreign workers' living quarters was because security guards successfully defended the main kibbutz residential area from invasion so they attacked softer targets. There were no guards stationed at the mostly Asian-inhabited living quarters.[194][195]

A German-Israeli national, Shani Louk, was killed while attending the Re'im music festival; a video of Palestinians parading her near-naked body in a car was circulated on the internet.[196][197][173][198] Several other German citizens were reported to be among those kidnapped by militants.[190] At least 17 British citizens were reported as dead or missing,[199] including one attendee of the music festival.[200][201] 18 Ukrainians,[141] a Cambodian student,[171] and a Chilean woman were confirmed to have been killed by Hamas.[202][203] 13 French citizens were killed, with an additional 17 missing, including four children.[204]

At least 31 Americans were killed during the attacks and 13 others were missing.[135] Mexico's Secretary of Foreign Affairs reported that two Mexican nationals were presumed to have been taken hostage by Hamas. One Brazilian national was reported as injured and three were reported missing.[205][206] An Indian caregiver was injured by a rocket barrage in Ashkelon.[207][197] The British embassy confirmed the death of a British national who attended the music festival.[208]

Spanish foreign minister José Manuel Albares said two Spaniards were attacked without specifying their condition.[209] Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani stated that an Italian-Israeli couple went missing in Be'eri.[210] Two Tanzanian students were reported by their embassy to be missing.[211] The Russian Embassy stated that 16 Russian nationals were killed and nine others went missing following the attack.[212] Four Argentinians were reported to have been killed and three were reported missing.[213] The Canadian government stated that three Canadians were killed, and that two other Canadians were missing. A Paraguayan couple was reported killed, with the government also reporting two nationals missing. An Irish attendee of the music festival was reported missing.[205] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Peru confirmed that a Peruvian-Israeli soldier was killed in action on the front line, while three remained missing. A Colombian couple attending the music festival was reported missing after the attack.[166] The Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that three Austrian-Israeli dual nationals had been captured, and that one of them had later been confirmed dead.[158] South Africa's Department of International Relations and Cooperation confirmed that two citizens, including a dual national, were killed.[168]

In Gaza, a Ukrainian national was confirmed to have been killed.[141]

Hostages in Gaza[edit]

Posters in Tel Aviv calling for the return of Israeli hostages in Gaza

248 people were taken hostage during the Israeli attacks, mostly civilians.[4][5][214] On 8 October, Palestinian Islamic Jihad claimed to be holding at least 30 captives.[215] At least four people were reported taken from Kfar Aza.[216] Videos from Gaza appeared to show captured people, with Gazan residents cheering trucks carrying dead bodies.[217] Israel reported four captives were killed in Be'eri,[218] while Hamas indicated that an IDF airstrike on Gaza on 9 October killed four captives.[219]

Civilians believed to be held captive in Gaza include families, children, festival-goers, peace activists, caregivers, and elders such as 75-year-old historian Alex Dancyg, who has written books on Poland's Jewish community and the Holocaust, was taken from Nir Oz.[214] Also at Nir Oz, six members of the Silberman-Bibas family were caught on video being taken from their home;[220][221] on 11 October, Hamas released a video showing three of them being let go near the border fence.[222] On 16 October, Hamas released a video of one of its hostages, a 21-year-old French Israeli woman who had sustained injuries to her arm and a scar.[223] On 20 October, Hamas released an American woman and her 17-year-old daughter who were taken while visiting relatives in Nahal Oz.[224] [225] According to a report sent to the International Committee of the Red Cross by the Geneva-based organization Hostage and Missing Families Forum, hostages include people with Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, dementia, autism and psychiatric disorders, who are "in urgent need of treatment and lifesaving medication", and are "prone to immediate mortality [without] essential medications and treatment." The report also expressed concern about untreated injuries induced during the attack.[226][227]

An open letter published in The Lancet by a group of 1,500 Israeli health-care professionals expressed shock at "the greatest loss of civilian life since the establishment of the state of Israel", and the indiscriminate "barbaric rampage" through "entire villages in the south of Israel", which it termed a "crime against humanity". The letter called on the international medical community to "condemn the savage massacre, to immediately call for guarantees for the safety and health of all those being kept hostage, and to unequivocally call for the immediate and unconditional return of our families and friends who have been cruelly taken hostage".[228]

American-Israeli author Robby Berman set up a fund offering a reward of 1 million Israeli shekels for the release of hostages in Gaza, specifically aimed at encouraging Palestinians to aid in the rescue of Jewish prisoners.[229]

Palestinians imprisoned in Israel[edit]

Main article: Mass arrests of Palestinians during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war

Thousands of Palestinians working in Israel on the eve of the war have gone missing. Human rights groups believe they have subjected to mass arrests by Israel, but Israel has refused to release the names of those whom they are holding.[230] According to testimonies obtained by HaMoked and Al-Jazeera some of these prisoners have been beaten by Israeli soldiers and denied access to contact the Red Cross.[230] Eight of the workers were interviewed by CNN made claims of torture, including being stripped naked, "viciously" beaten, including one account of electrocution. One prisoner reported; “They broke us and beat us with batons and metal sticks… they humiliated us… they have made us starve without food or water,” whilst another claimed "some people died on the way here because they were beaten and subjected to electric shocks." The interviewed workers were eventually returned to Gaza on 4 November. At least six human rights organizations in Israel have filed a petition to Israel's High Court arguing these detentions were "without legal authority and without legal grounds." Amani Sarahneh of Palestinian Prisoners Society and Dror Sadot of B’Tselem both described the issue as systemic, with Sadot stating in response; “We’ve been investigating this for so many years – the military enforcement system works as a whitewash mechanism with almost no indictments,” she said.  “So they will say ‘those are the exception, not the rule,’ but if the impunity for soldiers continues – and not just the soldiers but also the policy itself – when no one’s being held accountable, of course, things will just continue,”[231]
