Some 3,400 previously identified deaths from its August and October 2024 reports can no longer be found in the PDFs released by the ministry, which doesn’t differentiate between combatants and civilians.

At least 1,000 children are among those no longer on the list, according to two research reports, which corroborated each other’s findings.

The discrepancy has made researchers concerned about the possibility of numbers being intentionally inflated by Hamas, especially since the health ministry’s figures are widely reported in international media and seen as relevant by the likes of the UN, and triggering widespread social response and even political developments.

      If you come into my neighborhood and kill 50% of people and move in it’s “Terrorism” to remove you because other white people said so.

      It’s only Terrorism because Hamas will lose and history is written by the winners.

        Who are the white people you’re referring to? Because neither Israelis nor Jews are mostly white?
        Also Jews are equally native to the Land of today’s Israel/Palestine as Palestinians.
