At 20k+, Gaza deaths surpass any Arab loss in wars with Israel in past 40 years

The death toll in Gaza during Israel's 10-week-old war has surpassed the toll from any other Arab conflict with Israel in over 40 years and possibly since Israel's founding in 1948. The Gaza Health Ministry reported that the death toll has exceeded 20,000, putting it above the estimate of those killed in Lebanon during Israel's 1982 invasion. This war has been more deadly than the US-led wars in Afghanistan or Iraq. Most experts believe the figure is an undercount and express shock at the magnitude of the loss.
