Report Claims Gaza Civilian Death Figures Inflated to 44,000, Including 17,000 Hamas Fighters and 5,000 Natural Deaths
Dec 14, 2024, 05:40 PM
A new report by the Henry Jackson Society, led by Major Andrew Fox, claims that casualty figures reported by the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry have been significantly inflated to portray Israel as deliberately targeting civilians. The study asserts that the ministry's data includes natural deaths and misclassifies combat casualties as civilian deaths, contributing to a misleading narrative in international media. The report has garnered attention for its assertion that the figures, which suggest around 44,000 civilian deaths, are exaggerated, with estimates indicating that approximately 17,000 of those reported as civilian deaths were actually Hamas fighters. The findings have sparked discussions about the reliability of casualty data from conflict zones, particularly in relation to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
