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.

Taking Hamas figures as fact A similar report by the Henry Jackson Society in December also concluded that Hamas had inflated the number of casualties in the war.

“We knew there were rafts of errors in their reporting,” report author Andrew Fox said. “There’s a reasonable explanation in that their computer systems went down in November 2023, so it’s been challenging for them to report accurately, but the lists are so unreliable that the world’s media shouldn’t be quoting them as reliable.

Critics have pointed out that Hamas' claims of numerous civilian fatalities were obvious frauds, and these "revisions" underscore that point. For example for a long while their claimed number of women and children killed increased daily with metronomic consistency. This will be helpful to point out to terrorist supporters and anti-semites in the West.

And their women/wives/helpers are just as guilty...

yes, if all news agencies have got to say (alleged) about any one accused of a crime, it should preface any battlefield reports of casualties

“There’s a reasonable explanation in that their computer systems went down in November 2023, so it’s been challenging for them to report accurately

There's an even more reasonable explanation in that they are pathological liars.

This is all far-too-little and far-too-late. The damage was already done by firing up all the various factions that were just itching for the opportunity to publicly grind all their various Anti-Semitic axes.

The Hamas protesters on campus are still, endlessly spouting the false, inflated statistics of disproportionate numbers of women and children “murdered by the Genocidal ZioniSSt Occupiers”. A lot of clichés fit here, but I think the best one is: “You can’t unring a bell.”

Quietly revising statistics long after the fact will never unring the bell.

“This will be helpful to point out to terrorist supporters and anti-semites in the West.”

Antisemites and terrorist supporters are immune to reason. They won’t let facts and logic interfere with what they already know to be true. If they don’t ignore them completely, they’ll just twist the facts beyond recognition to fit their narrative.

What? Don’t you always wind up adding thousands of names out of thin air whenever you switch from a computer to recording things with paper and pencil?

Such as AP, Yahoo News, etc.
