Original Note:
The figure of 34,000 comes from the Gaza Health Ministry, controlled by Hamas, the proscribed terrorist group, thus its figures should be treated with due caution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Health_Ministry https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/proscribed-terror-groups-or-organisations--2 The 34,000 widely cited fatality numbers also make no distinction between combatants and noncombatants https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/gaza-fatality-data-has-become-completely-unreliable
