    It’s hard to trust any of these numbers. 1 innocent death is 1 too many, but the numbers seem to come from Hamas and they have every incentive to inflate them.

    Are Hamas fighters or legitimate targets being included in these figures for instance? The 500 dead at the “hospital” seen very dubious too given the scale of the actual destruction, it’s unclear whether that number is included also.

      The Israeli numbers are largely backed up by multiple sources within the country: both media organizations and different governmental organizations. Historically, there are some names that aren’t published as a matter of public policy (pilots, military personnel in classified positions, same stuff you’d see from any other western country).

      Hamas 100% include their armed members. The hospital blast was for sure not 500, but I haven’t seen any follow-up numbers from that incident. No clue if that is included in their running totals.
