Original Note:
The number of casualties comes from the Health Ministry in Gaza which is run by Hamas. They do not distinguish between civilians and combatants. They also include self inflicted casualties. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/what-is-gazas-ministry-of-health-and-how-does-it-calculate-the-wars-death-toll Multiple experts have questioned the accuracy of these numbers. https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/gaza-fatality-data-has-become-completely-unreliable https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/how-gaza-health-ministry-fakes-casualty-numbers https://time.com/3035937/gaza-israel-hamas-palestinian-casualties/
