🧵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/ henryjacksonsociety.org/publications/q…
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…

🧵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/
đź§µWhen 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/
đź§µHamas 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/
