These are math estimates with margins, not official tallies, but the reasoning makes sense.

    Yup, the Health Ministry can't count people under the rubble.

    Though, end goal? Why wouldn't they just kill the entire population? After a certain point the blockade will starve the entire population to death or kill them all with communicable disease, barring a few people who manage to miraculously hang on.

    Israel loves genocide, why would it ever stop?

      It's a more practical goal to expel the remaining Gazans elsewhere, rather than going full final solution. If they create enough devastation it eventually forces other states' hand to accept the refugees. But some people in Israeli government clearly want what you say, so the goal varies from ethnic cleansing via extermination of half the population then forced relocation of the remaining part, or full extermination.
