Hamas' Gaza death toll questioned as new report says its led to 'widespread inaccuracies and distortion'

A new report by the Henry Jackson Society (HJS) reveals widespread inaccuracies and distortion in the casualty tallies provided by the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health (MoH) during the conflict in Gaza. The study also highlights how worldwide media have reported the inflated numbers without proper scrutiny. The HJS report found errors in the data collection process of the MoH, leading to a misleading picture of the conflict. The report also points out biases in reporting, including improper recording of casualty entries and distorted gender breakdowns. The MoH's casualty figures do not account for natural deaths or deaths unassociated with Israeli military action, and the ministry does not differentiate between combatants and civilians in its counts.
