Original Note:
The 40k death figure is highly disputed, and only the Hamas run Gaza Health Ministry has made a claim near that number, the latest count by the US and UN recognized terrorist group is 39,670. That number also doesn’t separate the thousands of Hamas fighters. https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/gaza-fatality-data-has-become-completely-unreliable https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-gaza-deaths-women-children-e258a4c14641978a00dfb957ce348957 https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2024/04/09/hamas-run-gaza-health-ministry-admits-to-flaws-in-casualty-data/ https://www.state.gov/foreign-terrorist-organizations/ https://www.aljazeera.com/news/longform/2023/10/9/israel-hamas-war-in-maps-and-charts-live-tracker
