IDF reveals number of terrorists killed in Gaza since Oct. 7

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has revealed the number of terrorists killed in Gaza since they invaded Israel on Oct. 7 and slaughtered about 1,200 Israelis and took 253 hostage, many of whom were killed or died in captivity. They also revealed that at least 50 terrorist tunnels running under the Philadelphi Corridor have been destroyed.

The estimate the IDF has given on Thursday night for the total number of Hamassholes and others of their ilk who have been killed is over 17,000 in the Gaza Strip since the start of the war on Oct. 7, according to IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari.

“IDF forces continue to fight in Gaza—maneuvering in Rafah, Khan Yunis, the central Strip and are attacking everywhere,” Hagari told reporters at a briefing. “So far, we have eliminated more than 17,000 terrorists.

“The significant combat and the ensuing high accomplishments impede Hamas’s ability to raise its head again and rebuild itself, and we are determined to keep this up,” he added. He said this despite the attempts of the Biden-Harris administration to have Israel call a ceasefire amidst their winning this war and thus being deterred from completing the win.

IDF forces entered Gaza on Oct. 27 after weeks of airstrikes in response to the Oct. 7 attacks.

On June 23, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the intense combat in Gaza was winding down and that the IDF would deploy more troops to the Lebanese border amid attacks by Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Last month, the IDF announced that its forces had killed half of Hamas’s leadership in Gaza and killed or arrested around 14,000 of its fighters. Hopefully, they will soon have Hamasshole leader Yahya Sinwar in their crosshairs and blow his butt to Jannah to meet his 72 virgin goats.

That number was identical to a figure cited by Jerusalem two months prior, when Netanyahu told a U.S. podcast, “We’re facing 35,000 Hamas terrorists. We’ve killed already about 14,000, wounded many others.”

Avi Hyman, a government spokesperson, reported on May 13 that IDF forces have eliminated over 14,000 terrorists and that around 16,000 civilians have died in Gaza since October 7 due to the ongoing conflict.

Hyman also stated that the Israeli army was setting a benchmark for urban warfare with "the lowest civilian-to-combatant casualty ratio in history."

Furthermore, on Thursday, the IDF announced that soldiers had killed 20 terrorists and destroyed a structure that was hiding a tunnel entrance during operations in Rafah, a former Hamas stronghold in southern Gaza.

Over a span of 24 hours, the Israeli Air Force targeted and attacked over 30 Hamas terrorist infrastructure sites, including buildings rigged with explosives, underground facilities, and weapons storage locations.

On Thursday, the military also disclosed that, over the past month, soldiers had demolished at least 50 terrorist tunnels running beneath the Philadelphi Corridor, which separates the Gaza Strip from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.

Israeli forces took control of the Philadelphi Corridor in May and continue to operate in the border region to prevent Hamas from smuggling weapons and other materials into Gaza through an extensive network of tunnels.
