🧵Major change in Gaza fatality report by UN: They now publish only identified fatalities admitting large number are made up by Hamas. Women & children half the “14,000 kids” killed often claim. Now 24,700 fatalities identified and >14,000 are combatants according to IDF. 1/3
For months UN & media claimed Gaza “health authorities” report numbers based on bodies counted, but as far back as April 7 Hamas admitted it was missing data on >11,000 claimed deaths. First time the UN finally stops parroting the 34,000 number that is literally made up. 2/
The 34,000+ number now includes 10,000 "missing" or “under rubble” which means no one has any idea. This missing/rubble number comes from the "Government Media Office" not the “health authorities.” Media at this point cannot credibly report 34,000 “have been killed in Gaza.” END
It is possible to interpret the chart as ~35,000 fatalities plus 10,000 under rubble/missing for 45,000 total. It just makes it even more absurd -- only 25,000 identified plus 10,000 under rubble plus another 10,000 just from the air?(not missing or under rubble?)

🧵The Lemkin Institute is often cited as a leading authority claiming genocide in Gaza. But it has no link to Raphael Lemkin or his family and is just a handful of volunteer activists abusing Lemkin’s name for reputational cover. There is no “consensus” on genocide. Details: 1/
The nonprofit was formed by Elisa von Joeden-Forgey in 2021, granted nonprofit status in 2023. She has a PhD in History, former Chair in Holocaust & Genocide Studies at Keene State College. There are no other genocide scholars. In its latest detailed report it raised $10,300. 2/
Joeden-Fogey admitted that she did not contact any Lemkin family member when starting the group in 2021. Family members specifically say the name is being used “contradictory to what we believe Rafael stood for… it really disparages the name.” 3/
🧵“Heavily striking the Jews” is the al-Barsh family business. 11 members are confirmed Hamas combatants killed in Gaza—including 2 "journalists," 2 child soldiers and a 10/7 attacker. Dr. Muneer al-Barsh currently runs the Ministry of Health. Anatomy of a terrorist family⬇️ 1/
Hamas' Northern Brigade group commander Hashim Adli al-Barsh (ID 407019371, Age 24) is the most senior combatant, recently memorialized by Hamas in a martyr video. He was killed by an IDF airstrike on May 30, 2025. Three of his brothers were killed earlier in the war. 2/
Hashim’s cousin Yaqob al-Barsh was a Hamas combatant (ID 803505668, Age 33) posing as a “journalist” and remains falsely listed by @pressfreedom as a legitimate member of the press. But social media, martyr notices, military videos show Yacoub was a combatant. 3/
🧵When the IDF struck Al-Faluja School on Oct 13, 2024 media reports said only civilians died. As usual IDF claims of Hamas using schools as command centers was dismissed. Hamas now confirms a commander was killed in that strike, along with another fighter. Details & sources: 1/
This IDF strike on the school converted into a military base by Hamas, following a similar one on the same school several weeks earlier, was covered in the media and an incident covered by Airwars who could not confirm if combatants were killed. 2/
Hamas recently posted to an affiliated telegram channel a 2 minute "combat" video of Rafat Mousa Sakb Muhna (ID 931544332, Age 42), identified as a commander in the Beit Lahia Battalion, Northern Brigade. @airwars please update your database. 3/
🧵A growing number of Gaza martyr notices reveal many combatants are NOT on the official Ministry of Health list (like Osama Jamal Al-Najjar), confirming my analysis on fatality data. I’m also confident a very large % of male fatalities 17-35 will prove to be combatants. 1/
Commander Jamal Al-Shawish of the Beit Hanoun battalion is another combatant confirmed by Hamas affiliated and other channels that is MISSING from the official fatality list. He was killed in May 2025. I have found many more examples. 2/
What does this mean? That the fatality list has certainly been carefully curated by Hamas to undercount an already elevated ratio (3:1) of adult males to females, as well as male teens. I estimated long ago that 1000s combatants were omitted by Hamas. 3/
🧵An IDF strike on the Abu Musa home in Gaza on Nov 9, 2023 was reported as killing civilians including a Sheikh. But Hamas now admits the “Sheikh” was a Qassam Commander; the family confirms another member was also a combatant. This is the second Sheikh combatant revealed. 1/
Nov 9, 2023 was a heavy day of IDF airstrikes on Hamas targets. But since Hamas has no military bases, does not wear uniforms and operates out of homes, hospitals, mosques etc. every attack is presented as targeting civilians. This one killed 5 people. 2/ english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/…
Hamas has begun revealing some of its losses on affiliated Telegram channels, and Raed Salameh Suleiman Abu Musa (ID 800828709 Age 40) was confirmed as one of its commanders killed in this attack. The video shows him firing mortars, in combat training, etc. 3/
🧵Hamas recently admitted that an IDF airstrike that struck the Quneita apartment in Gaza City on June 19, 2025 actually killed Qassam Commander Mohammed Samir Ali Quneita. A few days later Al Jazeera revealed he was Hamas spokesperson Abu Obeida's assistant who "veiled" him. 1/
As usual, Palestinian media & local sources claimed the IDF attack killed innocent civilians. I have already documented more than 20 attacks on homes & tents, supposedly killing innocent people, that really targeted commanders, by Hamas' own admission. 2/ nabd.com/s/156767153-ea…
The Al Jazeera profile was based on social media posts revealing the role Quneita played and his association with lead Hamas spokesperson Abu Obeida. 3/
