Casualties, numbers by Hamas | Terrorist lies
So naive to trust terrorist Hamas with anything, especially with casualty numbers that have been used to turn the world opinion against Israel !
Hamas don’t report their militants hit. Straight away that shows they’re being dishonest. The IDF says that figure is around 24,000. https://www.timesofisrael.com/3-years-of-war-data-shows-idf-hit-100000-targets-as-31500-projectiles-fired-at-israel/
On May 6, the UN published data showing that 34,735 people had reportedly been killed in Gaza, including over 9,500 women and over 14,500 children. On May 8, the UN published data showing 34,844 people had reportedly been killed, including 4,959 women and 7,797 children. The UN cut their estimates by half. https://m.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-800772
Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry admitted to flaws in its casualty data, it said on April 6 that it had “incomplete data” for 11,371 of the 33,091 Palestinian fatalities it claims to have documented. https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2024/04/09/hamas-run-gaza-health-ministry-admits-to-flaws-in-casualty-data/
The United Nations reduced estimates for the number of women and children killed during Israel’s war in Gaza by nearly half, inviting new scrutiny for figures that come from the militant group Hamas. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/united-nations-cuts-estimates-women-170941270.html
Hamas’s new March 2025 fatality list quietly drops 3,400 fully “identified” deaths listed in its August and October 2024 reports – including 1,080 children. These “deaths” never happened. The numbers were falsified – again. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/04/01/hamas-drops-thousands-of-deaths-from-casualty-figurures/
Hamas lied about the Al Ahli Arab Hospital incident. They said Israel hit the car park and that 500 died, the Arab world erupted in street protests and still believe it.Later investigations by UK, Canada, BBC, AP and La Monde confirmed the rocket came from Gaza and not Israel, and US intelligence put the numbers at 100 – 300.
Gaza MoH figures have been overstated. The data behind their figures contains natural deaths, deaths from before this conflict began and deaths of those killed by Hamas itself; it contains no mention of Hamas combatant fatalities; and it overstates the number of women and children killed. https://henryjacksonsociety.org/publications/questionable-counting/
Many of those listed as war fatalities in Gaza actually died of natural causes or did not die at all, a Palestinian health official working for Hamas admitted. https://www.jns.org/gaza-official-admits-natural-deaths-listed-as-war-fatalities/
Hamas’ reported casualty numbers increase by the same amount everyday, which is not natural (some days would be more or less deadly than others) this points to fraud. https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/how-gaza-health-ministry-fakes-casualty-numbers
AP’s Trusted Source Was a Hamas-Aligned Ally of Ismail Haniyeh. https://honestreporting.com/the-good-doctor-aps-trusted-source-was-a-hamas-aligned-ally-of-ismail-haniyeh/
In February, Hamas admitted to losing 6,000 of its fighters, representing more than 20 per cent of the total casualties reported. Given its claims that 70 per cent of the dead were women and children, there were two possible conclusions: either almost no male civilians had died, or almost all the men in Gaza were fighting for Hamas. Both were obviously absurd.Therefore, the number of women and children killed was likely grossly exaggerated. If that is the case – if, as Prof Wyner suggests, “the casualties are not overwhelmingly women and children, and the majority may be Hamas fighters” –
Hamas’ own revised data tells that all fatalities recorded were of people between the ages of 13 to 55, which is the general combat age for Hamas fighters, 72% are male. https://honestreporting.com/vanishing-victims-hamas-scrubs-thousands-of-confirmed-civilian-deaths-from-its-fatality-list/
According to Hamas data from 29 October, 26 men came back to life; and the fact that on several days, no men were apparently killed at all, but only women.
From Joe Biden: “I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I’m sure innocents have been killed and it’s the price of waging a war” https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/israel-hamas-war-palestinians-news/card/biden-says-he-doubts-accuracy-of-palestinians-death-toll-reports-WXQUdN2EwX9EZO3Jhziq
Doubts about that claim of 25,000 Gazans killed:
1. The figure includes both terrorists. and civilians.
2. The figure that comes from the Hamas Ministry of Health is not reliable, even Joe Biden admitted that.
3. Hamas uses Gazans as a human shield therefore Hamas is responsible.
4. Israel warned citizens and demanded that they leave the northern Gaza Strip several times starting 4 weeks ago.
5. Dead civilians sadly happens in every war. In the US-UK war in Iraq, 300,000 civilians were killed, in Mosul it was 40,000.
6. A large part of the deaths are from failed Hamas launches, such as the Al Ahli hospital incident.
1] No one knows how many actual civilians have been killed in Gaza since #Hamas broke the ceasefire that existed on Oct. 6 and invaded Israel on Oct. 7 – as all of the numbers come from the Hamas-fascist-controlled “Gaza Health Ministry.” Would America rely on the Kremlin for casualty figures in the Ukraine war?
2] American-led forces killed: over 40,000 civilians in Mosul in 2016-17 alone (to get rid of ISIS there); over 35,000 civilians to get rid of ISIS in Raqqa and Aleppo; over 180,000 civilians in relatively wide open Afghanistan; and well over 300,000 civilians as a result of the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
But if America or any other western democracy knows of some magical method that the US military itself (or any other military) has plainly never used in order to avoid civilian casualties – while fighting in a very densely populated urban environment like #Gaza against an Islamist Supremacist enemy like #Hamas – that embeds itself and its military infrastructure and weapons among its civilian populations and civilian infrastructure (including mosques, hospitals, schools and playgrounds) – then please share that magical method with the #IDF – because the #IDF is already doing more to avoid civilian casualties in Gaza than any other military has done in the history of modern warfare and it will continue to do so – as it does what is necessary to completely defeat the #HamasisISIS terror regime – in order make sure that no Islamist Supremacist orgs committed to mass-murdering Jews and destroying Israel controls even one square inch of Gaza by the time this war is over.
Doubts about that claim of 32,000 Gazans killed:
1. The figure includes both terrorists and civilians.
2. Number of terrorists killed is estimated at 14,000-16,000.
3. Hamas attributes 4,000 natural deaths to the conflict.
4. The figure comes from the Hamas Ministry of Health which is unreliable.
5. Hamas Ministry of Health admitted “incomplete data” for 11,371 of the fatalities.
6. Deaths of civilians used as human shields by Hamas are Hamas responsibility.
7. A large part of the deaths are from failed Hamas launches, such as the case of Al-Ahli hospital.
8. Dead civilians is not necessarily a war crime, it is part of every war. For example, in the US-UK war in Iraq, 300,000 civilians were killed.
The former Commander of the British Armed Forces in Afghanistan, Col. Richard Kemp, has explained the IDF’s efforts to avoid civilian casualties:
“The UN estimate that there has been an average three-to-one ratio of civilian to combatant deaths in such conflicts worldwide. Three civilians for every combatant killed. That is the estimated ratio in Afghanistan: three to one. In Iraq, and in Kosovo, it was worse: the ratio is believed to be four-to-one. Anecdotal evidence suggests the ratios were very much higher in Chechnya and Serbia. In Gaza, it was less than one-to-one.”
Don’t Fall for Hamas’ Numbers Game

THE GAZA DEATH COUNT SAGA
We keep hearing all sorts of numbers about the death toll in Gaza, so let’s unravel this mess of information.
The Gaza Health Ministry says at least 43,020 people have been killed. But hold your horses, we gotta subtract the 6,900 natural deaths, so that leaves us with 36,120. Math was never my strong suit, but let’s have some fun with numbers anyway.
The ministry claims that 50% of the dead are women and children. Okay, here’s where my math brain starts to short-circuit. So, 50% women and children means 18,060 women and kids.
They say 17,000 kids have died, which means only 1,060 civilian women have died. Wow, that’s convenient for the narrative, but let’s keep going.
So far, the IDF has supposedly killed 17,000 Hamas fighters. Add that to the women and kids, and we get a grand total of 35,060. This would mean only 1,060 civilian men have died.
Unfortunately, the Gaza Health Ministry isn’t exactly forthcoming about Gazans killed by Hamas or the hundreds of misfired rockets that landed in Gaza.
I’ll leave the math alone because even a complete moron can tell that the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers are totally fabricated and completely unbelievable. Except, of course, for the useful idiots and the biased press.
There you have it, folks. Numbers that don’t add up, and a narrative that’s shakier than a Jenga tower in an earthquake.
About 72 per cent of fatalities aged 13-55 are men, which is the rough age range of Hamas combatants, according to Honest Reporting who check Hamas public records.
The Henry Jackson Society’s December report said: “The ministry of health, operating under Hamas, has systematically inflated the death toll by failing to distinguish between civilian and combatant deaths, over-reporting fatalities among women and children and even including individuals who died before the conflict began.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/04/01/hamas-drops-thousands-of-deaths-from-casualty-figurures/
Hamas murder Israeli children on purpose and celebrate, how can anyone trust anything they say ?!
According to the Henry Jackson society report Hamas also added to the casualty numbers those who died before the war. They lied that most are women and children and didn’t distinguish between militant and civilian.
The Lancet source was a letter to the journal, not a peer-reviewed article. And it’s premise was based on predictions from other conflicts, not on concrete evidence from this conflict. Even Hamas didn’t make the outlandish claims that letter did.
