LONDON: The Israeli military has admitted that the number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza conflict has been about 70,000 — in line with figures from the Gaza Health Ministry, Israeli media reported on Thursday. Throughout the two-year conflict, Israeli officials refused to accept the numbers provided by the ministry, despite them being widely regarded as accurate by international bodies, including the UN. A senior security official has now confirmed the overall figure, but said the actual breakdown of the toll was still under review, The Times of Israel reported.
