That's only if you believe Hamas and not the IDF.

Do you see the bias there?

Name an instance where "Hamas" numbers (a misnomer for the Gazan Ministry of Health) vastly differed from independent investigations.

How about when Hamas shot that hospital with a rocket and blamed the IDF?

How about the times idf shot journalists?

You mean the Al Ahli Hospital? The one instance where it is still inconclusive? Yet you are convinced it's Hamas, I wonder why. The hospital where we know for a fact was hit by Israeli rocket fire days prior. All the while, Israel has never stopped bombing hospitals, schools, mosques, historical sites, Refugee camps, tens of thousands of children, hundreds of journalists, and international aid workers

This was not the first airstrike on the hospital in question. The New York Times confirmed that the same hospital had been hit by rocket fire on Oct. 14, 2023, before the more recent attack, in which four people had been injured.

More than half of Gaza’s homes destroyed or damaged, 80 percent of commercial facilities, 85 percent of school building, 16 out of 36 hospitals are partially functioning, 65 percent of road networks, 65 percent of cropland damaged

there is extensive evidence of the IDF quite literally engaging in human shielding — forcing Palestinian civilians to approach houses for them because they’ll be less likely to be shot at than Israeli soldiers, for example. Israel’s High Court banned the practice in 2005, but Israeli human rights group B’Tselem reports that “soldiers continue to occasionally use Palestinians as human shields even after the court ruling, especially during military operations.”

That is not even relevant to what I wrote. But okay.

Tell the IDF to stop lying then?

The Palestinian death toll has been verified by journalists and US intelligence. After US intelligence verified the death tolls, sudden the Israeli government stopped disputing the death toll.

You have a very strong opinion but clearly haven't done your homework.
