Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel resulted in the deaths of more than 1,160 people, mostly civilians, according to a new AFP tally based on the latest official figures available.

The tally showed the number of those killed in Israel on October 7, including members of the security forces and civilians, has risen to 1,163 compared with a death toll of 1,139 in mid-December.

To calculate the new figure, AFP cross-referenced data published separately by Israel’s social security agency, the army, the police, the Shin Bet security agency and the prime minister’s office.

The new count includes those taken hostage on October 7, whose deaths have since been confirmed.

The latest death toll from the attack is now 767 civilians, 20 hostages and 376 members of the security forces, giving a total of 1,163. One person remains missing.
