The Latest Numbers:

As we mark three months since the October 7 Hamas attack and subsequent war, these are the latest numbers:

1,300 Israelis have been killed. Of these:

At least 35 were children.

509 were IDF soldiers (and of these, 177 were killed in the ground operation). See details of all the fallen soldiers here.

14 were in the country’s north.

11,594 Israelis have been injured.

An estimated 218,000 Israelis are currently internally displaced, including from 67 towns that have been officially evacuated. (Some 40 of the 67 towns have been permitted to return in the coming days).

Around 12,500 rockets (and other projectiles) have been fired at Israel since October 7. Of these:

About 10,500 were fired by Hamas and other terrorist groups from Gaza

14 by the Houthi rebels in Yemen

2,000 by Hezbollah from Lebanon and Syria.

Thousands of rockets were fired by Hamas on October 7, and hundreds of rockets per day in the weeks that followed. By the week of December 1-7, as IDF ground operations restricted Hamas’ capabilities, the terror group still managed to fire 75 rockets per day, but by December 8-14, the number had dropped to 23. From December 15-27, the average number of rockets dropped to 16 and is now below 10.

There are 130 hostages in Gaza, but at least 25 of these are believed to be no longer alive (that number could be much higher). 109 hostages have been released; and the IDF has rescued one hostage, recovered eight bodies, and accidentally killed three hostages.
