mondoweiss presents the daily numbers from the genocide;

Casualties

• 18,412+ killed* and 50,000 wounded in the Gaza Strip.
• 279 Palestinians killed in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem
• Israel revises its estimated October 7 death toll down from 1,400 to 1,147.
• 435 Israeli soldiers killed since October 7. Israeli media reports over 5,000 injured, citing military sources.**

*This figure was confirmed by the Gaza Ministry of Health on December 11. However, due to breakdowns in communication networks within the Gaza Strip, the Ministry of Health in Gaza has not been able to regularly and accurately update its tolls since mid-November. Some rights groups put the death toll number closer to 20,000.

**On December 9, Yedioth Ahronoth reported over 5,000 Israeli soldiers have been injured in the fighting thus far, with 2,000 categorized as disabled, citing official figures by Israel’s Ministry of Defense. Israeli reports about combat casualties are strictly subject to gag orders, and Yedioth Ahronoth later removed the 5,000 figure from its original report
