The US Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, in a statement that has drawn significant attention, reported that over 25,000 Palestinian women and children have been killed in Gaza since Oct 7th. This figure, presented under oath during a congressional testimony, has been noted to exceed even the claims made by Hamas regarding the death toll. The Pentagon's confirmation of these numbers has sparked outrage and condemnation, particularly among those who have been skeptical of the reported casualties. Austin's remarks underscore a grim reality in the conflict and have led to a broader discussion on the humanitarian impact and the need for accountability.
Lloyd Austin: 25,000 women and children have been killed by Israel “Secretary, How many Palestinian women and children have been killed by Israel since Oct 7th?” “Over 25,000” Something is terribly off. There’s 30,000 casualties, what’s with the non affiliated men? Confused. https://t.co/9SGlEQnk4n
In fact the secretary of defense under oath Said the number of dead women and children was over 25 thousand https://t.co/BkTS2V1r0J
Pentagon head says over 25,000 women, kids killed in Gaza, inflating Hamas claim https://t.co/SJnFxTbfRX
UNREAL!!! US Secty of Defense just stated under oath in his congressional testimony that Netanyahu's military has killed MORE than 25,000 women and children!!! Yes, based on US intel more than 25,000 women and CHILDREN have been killed by Netanyahu's military! https://t.co/XsUQ9fEwMA
So the Pentagon now confirm that over 25,000 Palestinian women and children have been slaughtered. Note that doesn’t include the thousands of non-combatant men who have been killed. To all the atrocity deniers who try to sow doubt in the death figures: shame on you forever. https://t.co/ajKsD5itns
