    Israel is still counting the victims of the October 7th massacre, but Hamas gives their numbers every day.

    How on Earth can you know how many bodies are there, and how many of them are civilians?

      Palestine explicitly does not distinguish between civilians and militants. Also clearly the health ministry does not care about accuracy in this war because 1 hour after the hospital bombing they literally made up a number.
