A spokesperson for Israel's foreign ministry said on Friday that the death toll from the Oct. 7 Hamas attack in southern Israel had been revised to around 1,200 from a previous government estimate of 1,400.
Reminds me of a Saturday Night Live joke from years ago…
“Russia announced today that 31 people died from the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, but they would like to remind everyone that, while tragic, it’s still a far cry from the 400 who died during the Stalinist Purges.”
Yeah it is really funny when they have to make human bodypart puzzles to find out how many people died and also analyze the charred remains of people that were bound together and then burned so they couldn’t say the if it was just one dead person or more.
My understanding was that the burnt bodies were from the IDF shelling of buildings with militants and hostages in them. Did you have additional evidence I didn’t catch?

Those articles partly talk about the burn victims. The Snopes article is primarily about beheaded infants though.

Right. So we’re not going on much here.
I don’t know if you’re referring to Gaza or Israel on October 7th, but here’s a press conference about the burned bodies.
