The death toll is definitely estimated in the hundreds. Below is a Guardian link citing US officials vs Nate's link citing a... Twitter thread.
In any case, I think the answer here is, until there is conclusive evidence from an reputable, independent third party (not a "forensic expert" on Twitter, not Israel or the US which fully supports it, not Hamas)... wait and see... but focus on the broader conflict and patterns.
