“We are still assessing the likely casualty figures and our assessment may evolve, but this death toll still reflects a staggering loss of life,” the document said. The document also says there was “only light structural damage at the hospital,” with “no observable damage to the main hospital building and no impact craters.”
Israeli army spokesman Jonathan Conricus has also disputed the Hamas-run ministry’s figures, asking “where are all the bodies?”The United States’ death toll estimate is higher than the 50 people that a senior European intelligence source previously told AFP he believed had been killed.
