Ex-IDF chief reveals Gaza casualties crossed the 200,000 mark, confirms no legal advice was sought during ops
Herzi Halevi stated that over 10% of Gaza's population has been killed or injured amid military operations conducted without legal advice, raising concerns about adherence to international law.
- Earlier this week, Herzi Halevi, former chief of the Israel Defence Forces, said more than 200,000 Palestinians have been killed or wounded and legal advice `not once` constrained military operations in Gaza.
- Halevi, who stepped down in March after 17 months as IDF chief, made remarks at a community meeting in Ein HaBesor moshav earlier this week.
- Official tallies and leaks together show Gaza's health ministry reports 64,718 dead and 163,859 injured since October 7, 2023, while leaked Israeli military intelligence indicated over 80% of fatalities were civilians this year.
- Humanitarian agencies warn that last month famine was declared and the World Health Organization reported at least 361 malnutrition deaths including 124 children, while advocate general Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi recommended delaying displacement orders for about 1 million Gaza City residents until southern Gaza facilities were ready.
- The world's largest association of genocide scholars said last week that Israel's actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide, as the ICJ investigates and ICC warrants are issued.
