We continue to follow the deadly Israel-Hamas war that is unfolding in the Middle East.

So far, outside estimates put the total number of dead around 1900,

with more than 7,200 people injured.

To break down those numbers a little bit,

the Israeli government estimates

that over 1,000 Israelis have been killed in the conflict

and more than 2,700 others have been injured.
