🧵GAZA CASUALTY UPDATE: IDF has killed 14,000 combatants; Hamas claims 32,600 total fatalities. Despite analysis showing Hamas numbers faked media continues to cite as fact. Claim ~70% killed are women & children is a lie. Civilian/combatant ratio at low 1.3:1. See analysis: 1/7
At Feb 29 IDF said ~13,000 combatants killed. Daily reports since show 25+ killed/day and 200 killed at Shifa. Total killed thus at least 14,000. Add 1,609 killed inside Israel at 10/7 plus 2,500+ captured plus ~10,000+ injured = 28,000+ neutralized. 2/
Story of the war is incredibly low civilian/combatant ratio even accepting Hamas fatality claims. Compare to 3:1-5:1 by US & UK action in Iraq & Afghanistan. But the world does not want to tell this story. See key article by actual expert @SpencerGuard 3/newsweek.com/israel-has-cre…
Critical analysis by @adiwyner Professor of Statistics & Data Science at UPenn. Statistical analysis clearly shows Hamas faked casualties, particularly women & children are grossly inflated. See full article. 4/tabletmag.com/sections/news/…
Yet media continues to cite Hamas numbers – but not IDF numbers – as reasonable, even though casualty figures for many months are issued by the so-called Hamas “Government Media Office” sourced from social media, self reporting on Google forms, etc. 5/
Many claim relying on Hamas numbers is reasonable becaused they have been reliable in the past. This is a blatantly false. Hamas faked numbers in every “round” particularly with massive fabrication of civilians killed, and is also doing it today. 6/
See original thread with 5.8 million views from December that exposed numerous statistical impossibilities in Hamas’ daily reports, where on many days there were fewer men reported killed from one day to the next, among other things. END
