Propaganda is flying around like crazy in this conflict and I think it’s time for our community to come together and try to separate the truth from misinformation and chaff. Similar to my last post on the al-Ahli Hospital Massacre, we’re going to go with the following format:
For top-level comments, post the claim being made as well as who made the claim (please cite as close to the original source as possible) and, if possible, the date/time that claim was made.
For other comments, please try to either prove or debunk claims using multiple sources and verifiable information.
[2023/10/17] Haaretz has released a list of Israeli’s killed on October 7th
This list separates losses into “civilians”, “emergency services”, “IDF”, and “police.”
By my count, there are 93 civilians, 5 emergency services workers, 171 IDF, and 41 police on this list.
