Israel says it has killed 4,000 participants in October 7 attacks
On the third anniversary of the Hamas-led attack, Israeli defence minister Israel Katz said the military has killed 4,000 militants who took part in the October 7, 2023 assault.
Why it matters
The claim reflects how Israel frames its war aims as the anniversary of the attack is marked.
Background
Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people and taking hostages, according to Israeli figures. Israel's subsequent war in Gaza has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, according to Gaza health authorities.
