Health officials say that at least 649 Palestinians have been killed in the first 15 days of the 2014 Gaza conflict and 4,120 wounded. It is unclear how many are civilian casualties – the Israel Defence Forces says it has killed up to 180 militants while the UN estimates that as many as 70%-80% of the dead are civilians. Israel confirms that 29 soldiers and two civilians have been killed while another soldier, Oren Shaul, is missing and presumed dead.
