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.

    I didn’t know the Henry Jackson Society mentioned in this article. By doing a quick search I found this article, and it looks like it is funded by Zionists.

    Islamophobia sponsored by Zionist think tanks

    If you have info links contradicting it, please share.

      And PressTV is an Iranian state media. Of course they are anti Israel.

      2022: The Council of the European Union places the channel on the list of Iranian persons and entities sanctioned for serious human rights violations. It is declared “responsible for the production and dissemination of forced confessions of detainees”. https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_TV

        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.

            If you’re “settling” a land you cannot be a native. That’s like saying Americans are natives.

            Also I’m referring to the EU and US aka the other whites that matter in this conflict since they’re the only ones that have the power to

            1. label something a war crime/ Name people terrorists
            2. Actually stop this by refusing to sell more weapons
            3. Use global pressure to begin peace talks.

              There’s a difference between the current state of Israel and Palestine and Israels illegal settlings on Palestinian land versus the historical fact, that Arabs and Jews are both native to the broader region of Levant.

            Americans, Germans, French, and the other EU nations that onesidedly label Hamas as terrorists, but not the Israel administration. Have you been burying your head in the sand all this while or you’re just pretending to?

              It’s no contradiction to label Hamas terrorists while not doing the same for Israel. Hamas are terrorists and that’s not “onesidedly”!

                I love how you decided to ignore my actual rebuttal to your argument and answered an unrelated point. It shows that you never had a good faith argument to make in the first place. I bet you have no problem with Israel’s genocide despite all the noise you’re making about terrorism.
