Hamas Inflates Gaza Casualty Figures: Thousands of Deaths Quietly Dropped
New research reveals that Hamas has removed approximately 3,400 previously reported deaths from its Gaza war casualty figures, including 1,080 children. This significant reduction, identified by Honest Reporting and the Henry Jackson Society, suggests data falsification by Hamas. The deleted entries raise questions about the reliability of Hamas’s casualty reports, which have been widely cited by international media. Analysts suggest this action was an attempt by Hamas to enhance credibility, despite previous concerns regarding inflated civilian casualty numbers. The revised data, they argue, undermines Hamas’s narrative of disproportionate civilian targeting by Israeli forces.
