🧵IMPORTANT UPDATE to Hamas casualty count falsification thread. MORE falsifications proven based on review of December numbers with a massive jump in claimed percentage of women & children killed; Men killed DROPS dramatically! Also a response to a main criticism. 1/

Hamas' recent Dec 5 casualty report vs Dec 2 shows +1,041 new fatalities. But remarkably, new women & children killed jump by +1,353 over this same period, 312 more than total new fatalities! Again, no men seem to have died in several days of fighting. (My math in blue). 2/

We can look at it another way to show absurd numbers. According to Hamas and cited by the UN & media of course, men killed have DECLINED by 312 over these days. See detailed calculations below. Despite reports of many dozens to hundreds of Hamas killed in recent battles. 3/

Hamas keeps upping the percentage of women & children killed, with a dramatic jump in December. See the chart below for how these percentages have moved over time. In line with fewer men mysteriously reported killed. It's not a margin of error but deliberate falsification. 4/

Despite civilian evacuations, slowdown in bombing especially compared to initial bombing prior to evacuations, reliance on more ground troops, the percentage of women & children killed keeps rising. IDF CANNOT seem to hit many men & their “aim” worsens as the war progresses. 5/

Some desperate critics claim numbers simply reflect identification time lag from pulling bodies from rubble. But this means that on MANY days literally 100s of bodies identified as men were really women & children and NEVER the reverse. The trend shows this reason is false. 6/

Israeli media reports that officials believe ~15,000 deaths is within accurate range, however they also say ~6,000 are Hamas members. After factoring in civilian men killed, the percentage of women & children killed is dramatically less than the 73.8% reported by Hamas. 7/

Also to consider: (1) child soldiers, as it is well documented teens are involved with Pal terrorist groups (2) 471 greatly exaggerated deaths from Al-Ahli Hospital fire caused by PIJ rocket remains in casualty count (3) 1000s of rockets fell inside Gaza likely killing many. 8/

Let’s be clear. There is TRAGIC death of 1000s of civilians including many children in Gaza. But Israel has no choice; Hamas cannot and does not enjoy permanent immunity because it embeds within and under 2 million civilians. A strategy it admits to so tragedy is their fault. 9/

It seems the big jump in last few days of percentage of women & children killed reflects Hamas' desperate hopes of more world pressure for ceasefire and UN is playing along. Expect even more hysterical humanitarian crisis claims from Hamas, UN & fake NGOs in coming weeks. END
