More than 10,000 civilians have been killed in the Israeli response to the events of October 7th
The Israeli Response
I would take caution in the numbers distributed by Hamas. The World Health Organization is quoting Hamas, and there are no independent organizations that are getting their numbers from anywhere other than the terror organization that, on the 7th of October, beheaded and burned whole families and then lied about it to the international media.
The exact number is not known, as we saw just the other week when an Islamic Jihad rocket hit a hospital, and Hamas immediately blamed Israel.
The world should treat anything that Hamas says with an enormous pinch of salt. Hamas is deliberately spreading misinformation to attract international sympathy and stop Israel from exercising its legitimate right to dismantle the terror organization that perpetrated the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
We know the scenes are incredibly difficult to watch. We hold Hamas entirely accountable for all civilian deaths and suffering that result from its decision to declare war against our people, sending thousands of rockets at us, brutally massacring people, and embedding themselves in the most cowardly fashion among civilians.
Conclusions
Unfortunately, we not only can't rely on Hamas, which controls the health administration in Gaza completely, but we also cannot know at this point how many dead are Hamas's terrorist militants and how many are civilians.
