Clarification
The number of persons killed and wounded who have been identified is much less than the actual number. The number of persons killed cited by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza relates to bodies that have been brought to the hospitals and buried and does not reflect the actual numbers. Same goes for the persons wounded. In addition, about 11.500 are reported missing and are not counted as killed.
Israel refuses to disclose the list of names of persons incarcerated, thus the great difficulty in distinguishing a person missing and killed, or missing because of arrest.
