If you comment that they give us this data, surely you have a link to said data?

Surely you have the ability to google and find out for yourself. I don’t know if the data is available to the public, or just to journalists - but numerous reputable outlets have reported on this.

Do you know what "published" means?
Hint, public and publish come from the same root word...

Read this https://publish.obsidian.md/lonerbox/Israel+%26+Palestine/Go... carefully. tl;dr many supposedly "civilian" police force were al-Qassam Brigades members, bringing the alleged 17% combatant rate to around 40%
In short: gazans are all issued ID numbers at birth. The ministry of health has published id numbers of the dead, which means you can do stats and tell if the data is fake. On top of that, so far (afaik since 2009 when hamas came to power) nobody has caught them in a lie. So they’ve a track record of telling the truth, and give us data that we can smell-test for fraud and it passes.
So yes, nobody else is on the ground to produce independent numbers, so the numbers can’t be fully verified. But using that doubt as an excuse for inaction in the face of ethnic cleansing and genocide is fucking disgusting.
