Original Note:
The number of Palestinian deaths is provided by the Gaza Health Ministry. It is run by Hamas, a terrorist organization. Hamas has a long history of lying, specifically about casualties. The United States does not trust the casualty counts out of Gaza. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/biden-says-he-has-no-confidence-palestinian-death-count-2023-10-26/ https://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2014/08/12/hamas-lies-about-the-gaza-civilian-death-toll-and-the-media-bought-it https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/24/opinion/palestinian-hamas-misinformation.html https://townhall.com/columnists/marinamedvin/2019/05/07/hamas-gaza-health-ministry-lies-to-promulgate-propaganda-n2545981 https://www.haaretz.com/2010-11-09/ty-article/hamas-admits-600-700-of-its-men-were-killed-in-cast-lead/0000017f-ee02-ddba-a37f-ee6edc3f0000
