Hamas admits 72% of deaths are combat-aged men as it quietly reduces civilian death toll - report [View all]

Hamas quietly removed the names of thousands of Palestinians it had previously alleged were killed during the Israel-Hamas war, Salo Aizenberg, from the US-based non-profit organisation Honest Reporting told The Telegraph on Tuesday after analyzing Hamas’s March 2025 casualty update.

Hamas has previously claimed that 70% of casualties have been women and children, a claim no longer reflected in their recently updated lists, according to the research. Approximately 72% of fatalities between the ages of 13-55 are men - the demographic category aligns with Hamas combatants.

"Hamas’s new March 2025 fatality list quietly drops 3,400 fully ‘identified’ deaths listed in its August and October 2024 reports – including 1,080 children. These ‘deaths’ never happened. The numbers were falsified – again,” Aizenberg asserted.

Is it genocide when you kill your enemy? What are the rules for Israel?

HonestReporting is an advocacy group, not a journalistic or reporting group, fwiw. WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2 #5

It's also a promoter of nationalistic propaganda. Violet_Crumble Apr 2 #9

I believe the point of the OP is that Hamas has no credibility, not Hamas suddenly becoming credible. Beastly Boy Apr 3 #11

Nice, I could't have asked for a better illustration of grossly misinformed anti-Israel bias. Beastly Boy Apr 3 #31

I have been critical of Israel's conduct of the war. Bears no relation to Israel as a society. AloeVera Apr 3 #35

All the more reason to believe my outrage and anger are real and not "performative" - no? AloeVera Apr 3 #43

No. In fact, your post explicitly confirms the bias in your outrage and its disingenuous nature. Beastly Boy Apr 4 #44

Lol. You are quite amusing, I've decided. AloeVera Apr 4 #45

Good question. If you can't confirm or deny what Hamas is reporting at any given moment, Beastly Boy Apr 3 #32

It's not Hamas that categorized them as "men". AloeVera Apr 3 #37

You don't say! Beastly Boy Apr 3 #39

Of course "men" are categorized by Hamas. AloeVera Apr 3 #41

No, we just have one more reason to disbelieve Hamas. Beastly Boy Apr 3 #34

Not unusual for them. betsuni Apr 3 #33

Where are those numbers? They don't agree with the UN numbers muriel_volestrangler Apr 3 #36

Will "Honest Reporting" do that? AloeVera Apr 3 #38

Naturally. And I have my doubts if that is accurate. The civilian death toll is likely much less. Oopsie Daisy Apr 3 #42
