The Israeli military killed at least 710 Palestinian babies before they made it to their first birthday, the equivalent of two infants under one-year-old killed by Israel every day for nearly a year. That’s according to a 649-page document published by the Ministry of Health in Gaza on Sunday listing the names of tens of thousands Palestinians killed by Israel between October 7 and August 31.

A brief breakdown of the numbers killed:

Babies (Less that one year old): 710

Toddlers, 1-3: 1,793

Children, 4-12: 5,410

Children, 13-17: 3,442

Total number under 18 years old killed: 11,355

Men, 18-40: 10,396

Women, 18-40: 4,540

Men, 41-59: 3,341

Women, 41-59: 1,757

Men, 60 and over: 1,818

Women, 60 and over: 1,137

While the Biden administration, Israeli authorities, and others have repeatedly cast doubt on the health ministry’s figures, those numbers have proven accurate in past conflicts. Both the United Nations and even Israel’s intelligence services have accepted them.
