update the death toll

Why is the most recent number of killed a figure from May? AntiBiasBoy (talk) 09:41, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Killed senior commanders

I don't think a majorsl in the idf qualifies as "senior commanders". This whole section should deleted and information on commanders and leaders needs to be presented in the same manner as in the main Israel hamas war article . 2A13:54C1:F000:16FD:6549:9F37:844A:7B4A (talk) 22:19, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Refer to the point you brought up on the main Israel hamas war page The Great Mule of Eupatoria (talk) 11:22, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Islam Hijazi

Islam Hijazi, the director of the Heal Palestine association providing medical support and humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, was murdered by Hamas members near Sade Hospital in Khan Yunis. Why: she did not transfer donation funds.

Vague language supporting misleading claims of casualties

The sentence "After Palestinian militant groups led by Hamas launched an attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 which saw a minimum of 1,139 largely non-combatant individuals killed" suggests 1139 persons were killed by Palestian militants. In reality part of that number was casualties from "friendly" fire, on base of the Hannibal Directive. VanderlekD (talk) 00:23, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that adding something about the friendly fire/Hannibal Directive should be implemented. However it has to be stated that the exact number of people killed by the directive/FF is unknown and likely will not be known, unless the coroners get more freedom to publish information.

I was also going to suggest adding on something in regards to the larger specifics (military vs civilian), but since it is one sentence in the Background section, it is likely not needed. Propork3455 (talk) 21:39, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the Palestinian casualties were also due to friendly fire, for example the Al-Ahli hospital explosion, (according to some) and many smaller instances of malfunctioning rockets. We still count them in the total of Palestinian casualties. Per WP:NPOV we shouldn't overemphasise this just for one side of the conflict. Alaexis_¿question? 09:44, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
