(Ynet News) Sefi Kedmi - The natural mortality rate in the West Bank and Gaza, according to World Bank data, stands at 0.4%.

However, they are counted by Hamas as war victims. From Oct. 7 until the end of the 2023, 12,000 rockets were fired at Israel from Gaza. Around 3,000 of the rockets landed on the Gazan civilian population, who had no shelters or other means of defense. These are likely a major cause of civilian casualties in Gaza.
