1400 to 700 civilians.

Now lets invistigate why they are trying to hide how many the IDF killed of those 700.

I have seen two credible accounts so far: a tank killing 14 and another instance of 3 civilians allegedly being held hostage.

But I have seen credible accounts from witnesses indicating a lot of confused firing with no way to fully determine what the results were.

Note, though

Israel counts both soldiers killed in action and off-duty soldiers in its military casualties, and so these figures include, for example, some who died at the Supernova festival or while visiting their family in the south.

It's a bit difficult to distinguish a burned body in a kibbutz as a civilian vs off duty military until there's a forensic identification of its identity.
