đź§µMedia, NGO & UN claim that Hamas casualty numbers in past wars have been accurate, therefore reliable today. This assertion is totally false. Hamas lied about casualties in every past war and they are lying now. @UNLazzarini is lying too. See below for detailed analysis: 1/14
After Dec 08-Jan 09 Gaza War (Cast Lead) Hamas claimed ~1,300 Gazans were killed including only 48 combatants. Total number was within range of Israeli estimate (10% higher) but Hamas said 95% were civilians. Like today, it was a lie by Hamas. 2/ english.alarabiya.net/articles/2009%…
In Mar 2009, after actual investigation, Israel released specific names identifying 709 killed as Hamas, out of 1,166 total fatalities. Only 295 killed were civilians according to Israel. 3/ jpost.com/israel/idf-rel…
How do we know it was Hamas that was lying in 2009 and not Israel? Because many months later Hamas literally admitted the truth! 600-700 of its fighters were killed, confirming the IDF numbers and Hamas lies about civilian deaths. 4/ haaretz.com/2010-11-09/ty-…
After Jul-Aug 2014 Gaza War (Protective Edge) Hamas claimed 2,131 Gazans killed including 1,473 civilians or 70%. Total killed was within IDF estimated range, but combatants killed were vastly undercounted. Like today, Hamas lied about civilian deaths. 5/ ochaopt.org/content/occupi…
Detailed analysis by Israeli intelligence group on 75% of total deaths in 2014 Gaza war indicated 52% were combatants. 886 combatants were identified by name. Israeli data thus starkly contradicted Hamas claims that 70% of fatalities were civilian. 6/ terrorism-info.org.il/en/20753/
Like today, during the 2014 war the IDF provided updates on combatants killed, stating during war in Aug 2014 more than 900 operatives killed; in line with 886 identified by name later. So, Hamas numbers were NOT accepted as accurate or unchallenged in 2014 either. 7/
During the May 10-21, 2021 “round” of war in Gaza UN OCHA (based on Hamas) claimed 261 killed including 130 civilians (64 combatants acknowledged killed). Once again, IDF numbers had a much higher level of combatants killed. 8/
Israeli intelligence group identified 236 total killed, within range of Hamas estimates, but identified 114 combatants by name & affiliation – so a 1:1 ratio. Again, Hamas numbers were not deemed accurate or unchallenged as media somehow claims today. 9/terrorism-info.org.il/en/an-analysis…
Hamas has lied other times. On May 14. 2018 Israel killed ~60 Palestinians in so-called border “protests” that were really Hamas infiltration attempts (post 10/7 we now know this was a test). As usual, UN NGOs & media immediately accepted claim they were mostly civilians. 10/
But after criticism of Hamas by a Palestinian interviewer for allowing Palestinian civilians to be killed in “protests” a Hamas official acknowledged that in fact 50 of 62 killed were Hamas members! Once again confirming Hamas lie of civilian deaths. 11/ timesofisrael.com/hamas-official…
Finally, we still have al-Ahli hospital claim of 471 deaths which are still included in current death total. Despite nearly universal acceptance it was a PIJ rocket and deaths were far lower, it remains in the official Gaza death count today. Another Hamas lie in the open. 12/
Hamas’ strategy on casualties is to offer a reasonable estimate for total fatalities, but grossly inflate civilians killed, often using the 70% number. In fact, like today, combatants killed comprise 40%-50% of total killed. 13/
Media, NGOs & UN continue to claim Hamas casualty numbers have been reliable in the past, and that they are even accepted by Israel or unchallenged – it’s total lie. Israel has been more accurate. This is proven by Hamas’ own admission of false numbers on multiple occasions. END

🧵FACT: The WHO vaccinated this year 603,000 children under age 10 in Gaza—more children this age than existed pre-war. UN reports 60,000 births in Gaza in 2024—same as pre-war. These are fatal flaws in the Gaza "massive fatality undercount" studies and "genocide" claims: 1/
How many children under 10 lived in Gaza before the war? Using 10 years of actual birth data from Palestinian Authority we can estimate very closely. They report ~58,000 births/year in Gaza from 2007–2022 so that's about 580,000 children up to age 10. 2/ pcbs.gov.ps/statisticsIndi…
UNFPA reported 50,000 pregnant women in Gaza in both late-2023 and Dec 2024—equal to about 60,000 annual births, consistent with the historical average. Image from Jan 2025 UNFPA situation report. 3/
🧵CRITICAL: New study claiming 75,000 violent deaths in Gaza—30,000 more than Hamas reports—is deeply flawed. It is not credible to claim 40% of total deaths went unreported when even Gaza’s MoH admits families overreport deaths for compensation. Plus other flaws. Analysis: 1/
Study contradicts itself: it admits Gazans overreport deaths for compensation, even with FALSE claims and bereaved families receive benefits—which a senior MoH official confirmed. But we’re also expected to believe 30,000 deaths weren’t reported by Gazans? It does not add up. 2/
The study itself admits fatalities may have been overreported to surveyors in hopes of compensation—but then narrative gives no explanation for how its headline claim of 30,000 underreported deaths squares with Gazans tending to overreport deaths. 3/
🧵Haaretz has a long record of fabricating or distorting news to push an anti-Zionist agenda. Its publisher, Amos Schocken, admitted the paper sees itself not as a journalistic outlet but as a tool to "shape Israel"—especially for foreign audiences. 1/ honestreporting.com/haaretz-admits…
Schocken and many of its editors have long espoused deep anti-Zionist views, desires for Zionism to "collapse" and lauded Palestinian terrorists as freedom fighters–as Schocken did in 2024. He backtracked when called out but this world view permeates every issue. 2/
Here is one of the current editors who wrote "In the collapse of Zionism, we shall find solace." Should someone who writes this be considered a trusted journalist on issues related to Israel? 3/
🧵A new “study” claiming 188,000 Gazan children (out of 377,000 total Gazans) were “disappeared” is easily proven FAKE — because the WHO vaccinated 603,000 children up to age 10 in 2025! This is MORE children this age than pre-war per Palestinian Bureau of Statistics. Detail: 1/
WHO has been vaccinating Gazan children in Gaza for polio in multiple rounds for months. This ended in Feb 2025 reaching 603,000 children under age 10, and this was not 100% coverage. This was reported in detail by the WHO, see press release below. 2/
See birth data from Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics. Total births in Gaza for 10 years ended 2022 were 577,000 – well below the 603,000 up to age 10 vaccinated in Gaza by the WHO. So no mass “disappearance” – but GROWTH in child population. 3/ pcbs.gov.ps/statisticsIndi…
🧵Gaza “aid massacres” are fake, a Hamas ploy to harm the GHF, amplified by willing media 1/
➡️Hamas killed Gazans in many confirmed cases
➡️Key source: Hamas operative Mahmoud Basel
➡️Reports trace back to 1 Gaza reporter
➡️Claims cite anonymous “medics”
➡️Gazan witnesses lied
Critical confirmation that Hamas has killed many Gazans to pin blame on Israel and disrupt GHF: PA’s official newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadida reported on June 19 that Hamas Al-Sahm "death squads" shoot civilians, citing locals, to maintain control of aid. 2/ memri.org/reports/palest…
Palestinian observers tracking events in Gaza posted corroborating evidence: Hamas’s Sahm Unit is regularly killing Gazans cooperating with GHF, and others. To Hamas, aid coordination=betrayal. These murders, are all inflated & blamed on Israeli by Hamas "health authorities. 3/
đź§µThe Foreign Minister of Iran and now the anti-Israel mob is disseminating a fake map (below) of Be'er Sheva & Soroka to claim Iran was targeting nearby military sites and did not hit hospital itself. Expect media to pick up on this. Thread below shows how it's all fake: 1/
Even the most basic Google Map search shows that this map has no connection to the real map of Be'er Sheva. Basic locations and street names are fabricated. 2/
This thread provides great detail and definitively proves the Iranian lies at the highest levels of government to hide their deliberate strike at a civilian hospital: 3/
