Original Note:
This headline gives the impression that Israel started the war, when it was the Hamas pogrom on Oct 7 that triggered it. The casualty numbers are also suspect, since they are supplied by the Hamas health ministry, which has repeatedly been shown to inflate casualty figures. https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2023/11/02/5-things-to-know-about-the-hamas-run-gaza-health-ministry/
