🧵BOMBSHELL: Hamas’ new March 2025 fatality list quietly drops 3,400 fully “identified” deaths listed in its Aug & Oct 2024 reports—including 1,080 children. These "deaths" never happened. The numbers were falsified—again. Examples, analysis and evidence: 1/

What happened? How did 1000s of supposedly confirmed, fully identified deaths just vanish? Were some actually missing persons? Sloppy records? Intentional deception? Hamas’ Ministry of Health was never reliable. Expect Hamas' many “list defenders” to come up with excuses. 2/

Fact is, from day one, Hamas has gamed the fatality data—from including 471 fake “deaths” at al-Ahli Hospital in the official count, to claiming 70% of fatalities were women & children (then quietly backing off). Managed fakery, dressed up as precision—just like in past wars. 3/

When @HJS_Orgpublished “Questionable Counting” by @Mr_Andrew_Fox (to which I contributed), critics claimed the errors in Hamas’ lists were minor—not systemic. Now, with thousands more false deaths exposed, the errors are no doubt systemic. 4/

Is the March 2025 list suddenly credible? No. Dropping names doesn’t equal accuracy. It includes ~8,000 natural deaths; by now it's clear after 16 months Hamas is not keeping a separate list. Hamas may be adding real IDs to match fake casualty claims then removing them later. 5/

Hamas has falsified fatality data in past wars, as this thread shows—despite the claims of its defenders, who wrongly insist Hamas has always been accurate, and even falsely claim that Israel accepts Hamas data as reliable. 6/

For the skeptics: rest of thread shows screenshots of PDFs showing the ID numbers for all 1,080 fatalities of children fully identified by Hamas (names, full IDs, ages) in Aug & Oct 2024 lists (out of 3,374 total including adult deaths), that are now missing from Mar 2025 list:

More of the 1080 children who were removed from the fatality list: END

For the record on this thread: Days after this post, a Sky New journalist with direct access to the "Ministry of Health" appears to have asked them why were these names removed. I doubt this would have happened if my thread did not get international coverage, mainly from The Telegraph and then many other news outlets (e.g. Fox News). The answer is detailed in the Sky News article linked below. The answer, according to the MoH official, is the inclusion of natural deaths and other deaths that were "false claims" by families and other people found to be alive. The removal of 1000s of names that was uncovered in my post was thus affirmed. So it may in fact be the case that some of the deaths on the list that were removed did happen (meaning the person did die), just not due to the war, but from natural causes. The admission of natural deaths by the MoH is a massive change in the narrative of Hamas' fatality counts, as for 18 months this was vehemently denied, and Hamas' "list defenders" went along with this, insisting that no way, no how, was Hamas including natural deaths. The lack of a separate list after 18 months should by now tell us that the cause of death has not been known for many of the deaths, and all deaths in Gaza were added to the lists since day 1. According to some sources, Hamas will release a "natural death" list in the next month -- but if they know who is a war death, then by definition they know who is a natural death, so why wait 18 months? Because the lists are all gamed and curated to tell the story Hamas wants to tell. news.sky.com/story/thousand…
