The quoted anonymous sources state that a third of the dead are Hamas terrorists. It’s also unclear how many died as a result of misfired Hamas and Jihad rockets, as in the case of the Al-Ahli hospital. Hamas admits its rockets are prone to misfires. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/idf-officials-15000-likely-killed-in-gaza-since-start-of-war-5000-of-them-are-hamas/#:~:text=Reports%20citing%20anonymous%20Israeli%20officials,been%20killed%20than%20Hamas%20operatives. https://www.voanews.com/a/hrw-rocket-misfire-likely-caused-deadly-gaza-hospital-blast/7370998.html#:~:text=The%20explosion%20at%20the%20Al,said%20471%20people%20were%20killed. https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2023/10/19/hamas-unwittingly-admits-gaza-rockets-are-prone-to-misfire/ https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/israel-hamas-war-idf-says-one-fifth-rockets-fired-by-hamas-palestinian-islamic-jihad-misfired-24-hours-450334
