I agree, but I don't appreciate where the numbers come from. The Palestine Health Authority is basicly Hamas. They over report their numbers. The DoD is also keeping track which should be closer to the truth. Of course, media uses the Health Authority numbers because that's all they get. So, if this report is to be believed it means that the DoD numbers are still too high. Looks to me, since the IDF is now engaging Hamas directly, that these numbers will only increase substantially

I agree, but I don’t appreciate where the numbers come from. The Palestine Health Authority is basicly Hamas. They over report their numbers.

They released a list of all 6400 and change known casualties the other day (the number of casualties was a little below 7000 then), and reported an extra 200 unidentified. Like, with names and national IDs. I think any overreporting will be within the bounds of the situation being chaotic as all hell instead of anything malicious.

First I'm hearing about Hamas being not malicious. Interesting...

I mean Hamas is a terrorist organization but they're also a government. The health ministry of all places has things to do other than plotting the destruction of Israel.
