According to Hamas, right? When someone throws numbers directly from Hamas, that someone lost all credibility.

According to statistics, too:

2:1 civilian:Hamas ratio according to the IDF, with 5000 from Hamas dead and 10,000 civilians dead [0]; Gaza’s population is about half under 18 [1].

So if you figure deaths among civilians are random, then about 5,000 Gazans under 18 are dead.

I can read and suggest for you to do the same when providing sources:

Apparently you can’t read the second paragraph.

> The AFP news agency first reported the Israeli assessment on Monday, citing a briefing for foreign media by senior Israeli military officials. Asked about reports that about 5,000 Hamas militants had been killed since October 7, one of the officials replied, according to AFP: “The numbers are more or less right.”

No, according to the IDF, which disgustingly lumps together civilian and military casualties.
