— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸 Numbers update:

– Over 120 Israelis killed, including 50 IDF

– Approximately 80 Israelis taken hostage, including at least 40 IDF

– More than 800 Israelis injured

– At least 14 Merkava tanks captured

– At least 4 APCs captured

@Middle_East_Spectator

Keep in mind, these are just estimates.

We don't know if Hamas managed to actually transport the Merkavas to Gaza for example.

And the number of hostages could be substantially higher, some say as high as 160.
