Almost certainly. Hamas is a terrorist organization that has a lot to gain by inflating casualty numbers. If they cared about the Palestinian people they would have seen no military path to victory and instead surrendered a year ago.

Yes, I am quite aware that people who at this point taking the numbers of genocidal Islamist terrorists as fact would never be persuaded differently, but I find this new study pretty interesting regardless.
A new study, by professors Lewi Stone and Gregory Rose, disputes Hamas’s claim that 70% of those killed in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war were women and children.
Analyzing data from the Gaza Ministry of Health, they found the actual percentage was about 51%, with even lower rates (34.5%) during specific operations like in Khan Younis.
The study argues that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) took systematic steps to limit civilian casualties, and that Hamas manipulated data for propaganda, exaggerating civilian deaths while omitting combatant losses and including natural deaths.
This paper doesn’t really prove anything, it just makes an argument for slightly lower numbers than what Hamas is reporting. It’s still an incredibly large number of children killed, and an even larger number starving and suffering.

„sky is blue according to new study“
Why anyone would believe literal terrorists is beyond me.

While this is to be expected, should we maybe not use the „timesofisrael“ as a source for this topic?

Surely the Times of Israel is an objective middleman on the issue and has no bias toward one side of the conflict

Well the IDF does deliberately commit wartime atrocities. And then it covers them up for as long as possible and when the truth comes out they’ll like demote a guy and move on.
Also “it’s not 70 percent innocent women and children, it’s only 50!” lol

No one will actually know how many people are dead until the fighting ends and a count of how many people are still alive is done. Both sides are unreliable narrators. The Lancet had a study that the deaths were closer to 100,000 and could be closing in on 200,000 back in August of 2024 based off the way Israel was conducting the war and the situation on the ground.
