Some 3,400 previously identified deaths from its August and October 2024 reports can no longer be found in the PDFs released by the ministry, which doesn’t differentiate between combatants and civilians.

At least 1,000 children are among those no longer on the list, according to two research reports, which corroborated each other’s findings.

The discrepancy has made researchers concerned about the possibility of numbers being intentionally inflated by Hamas, especially since the health ministry’s figures are widely reported in international media and seen as relevant by the likes of the UN, and triggering widespread social response and even political developments.

    Who are the white people you’re referring to? Because neither Israelis nor Jews are mostly white?
    Also Jews are equally native to the Land of today’s Israel/Palestine as Palestinians.

      If you’re “settling” a land you cannot be a native. That’s like saying Americans are natives.

      Also I’m referring to the EU and US aka the other whites that matter in this conflict since they’re the only ones that have the power to

      1. label something a war crime/ Name people terrorists
      2. Actually stop this by refusing to sell more weapons
      3. Use global pressure to begin peace talks.

      Americans, Germans, French, and the other EU nations that onesidedly label Hamas as terrorists, but not the Israel administration. Have you been burying your head in the sand all this while or you’re just pretending to?
