US official says Gaza death toll is believed to possibly be higher than claimed
[IsraelTimes] US officials believe the corpse count in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Is she one of the staffers who signed one of those dissent memos, unhappy because America hasn’t nuked Israel for picking on those poor, brown Palestinians?

and others have challenged the ministry’s figures — which topped more than 10,800 killed in Gaza as of today — as exaggerated.

"We think they’re very high, frankly, and it could be that they’re even higher than are being cited," she says, later adding this is "very possible."

Leaf says US officials draw on "sourcing from a variety of folks who are on the ground," but gives no other details of the US assessment.

Leaf notes that Hamas health officials do not separate the numbers of civilians and fighters killed, and says it is difficult to know the true number of deaths as long as the fighting continues.

#3 Department of State is a convenient cover action for our highly paid and credentialed globalist shi* disturbers. You know who they are.

Politically appointed AMBO's and faux diplomacy are the readily available proof.
