Israeli Death Tolls for the October 7 Hamas Attack on Israel

I’ve been studying this issue for a while now, and I’m finally able to come up with some totals that I feel confident about publishing. Unfortunately, there are still significant error bars within these totals, but it does give you a general snapshot of what is the closest we can come to an actual Israeli death toll for the 10-7 attack.

Galloway’s Latest Death Toll

This latest from George Galloway on X is a summary referencing new totals from the liberal Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz. It supplants previous totals I had from an earlier summary by Ha’aretz.

Israeli Deaths on 10-7, Civilians and Security Forces

Total: 1,009

IDF: 673. Some of the IDF were killed by their own army via Hannibal Doctrine. Israel called in an airstrike on their own base, killing the wounded soldiers still there. Four IDF POW’s were killed by a helicopter while being taken back to Gaza per Hannibal Doctrine.

Police and Shin Bet: 43. 30 police and 13 Shin Bet reported by Israel. Many of the 30 police were killed by the IDF per Hannibal Doctrine (see below).

Total security forces: 716

Security forces by IDF via Hannibal Doctrine: 34+.

Civilians: 295

Baby or infant: 1. The latest toll does include one infant, however, it’s not known how the baby died as it could well have been killed by the IDF tanks that slaughtered 122 civilian hostages deliberately as per the Hannibal Doctrine.
