Yeah I don't believe a single thing from this zionist lobby masquerading as a "charity" and "media watchdog" hasbara site.
They post shit like this:

A quick scan of Hyman’s social media makes it very clear where she is coming from, including retweeting Jeremy Corbyn (whose enabling of antisemitism in the UK Labour Party during his leadership ended with his expulsion from the party) and rejecting the internationally endorsed IHRA definition of antisemitism.

All their astroturfing is solely funded by donations? I don't believe them.

"Provoking"?
The simple fact of the matter is without independent investigation and all the unrest going on in Gaza, it is impossible to hammer down military versus civilian casualties since the war.
You can spot the hasbara from a mile away, with garbage irrelevant non-sequiturs like this, designed to poison the well and sow mistrust in sources because some of them lack due diligence. Additionally, anyone is one search away from learning that the numbers comes from Hamas-run Ministry of Health. And just because it's ran by Hamas doesn't mean it's wrong. This site is ran by zionists. The irony.
The media has continued on this pattern since. Any death toll that the Hamas-run Ministry of Health (MoH) publishes is immediately reported on by Western media, oftentimes without any attribution to Hamas.
Although it is difficult to determine the exact number of terrorists killed by the IDF since the beginning of the war, estimates suggest the number to be more than 22,000 as of October 2025, not including those who were killed during the terrorist attacks on October 7. President Donald Trump has confirmed the number to be greater than 25,000, the number used in Aizenberg’s analysis.
Basically, "we call ourselves honestreporting and we are going to use the biggest number we can find", the number just happens to be from a fat child rapist who lies as often as he opens his mouth.
Beyond combatants, throughout the war, there were likely to be around 11,000 natural deaths, based on pre-war patterns. Another 4,000 deaths were caused by internal fighting within Gaza from different factions, including firing on civilians at aid sites or executions of individuals Hamas terrorists deemed to be collaborating with Israel. An additional 1,000 deaths can be attributed to errors in reporting.
Where did 4000 come from? Rival factions to Hamas includes Salafi Jihadists and other global caliphate types (ISIS), or just ex-Hamas members who don't just want to stop at killing innocent Jews and Palestinians.
The Salafi-jihadi network in Gaza is predominantly composed of self-radicalized Palestinians as well as disenchanted Fatah and Hamas militants.<a href="

This was from 2010 giving an estimate of 4000-5000, or up to 50,000. Hamas has been stomping out Salafi-jihadi cells ever since they got together. Apparently they have time to fight two wars and claim 4000 worse militants. Holy shit.
The author provides zero substantiation to this 4000 figure. I'll explain the likely reason later.
Beyond combatants, throughout the war, there were likely to be around 11,000 natural deaths, based on pre-war patterns.
Said who? Where's your source Aizenberg? According to, let's see, an "investment advisor"?
I would never claim to be confident in predicting the number of natural deaths in a given area during war and I hold a degree in this. Apparently I should have obtained a degree in managing a business instead.
Ridiculous, no credentials hasbara liar.
2.99 per 1000, let's assume it's all natural deaths.
Using some loose data I can find, I arrive at 10-12k.
Note: it's on a downward trend and when hospitals and other healthcare facilities are bombed, natural deaths increase drastically.
When people are crowded together or under constant stress, they die. When air pollution is rampant, they die.
When buildings are bombed and civilians are under rubble, the statistic doesn't even register.
Using it in such a capacity is disingenuous at best. It's nothing but propaganda.
At least when Hamas' controlled health ministry publish figures, they include how the data was gathered and even issued adjustments to remove natural deaths. This garbage hasbara piece features an investment manager zionist and citation of works is "trustmebro".
I can get behind the IDF's 20k-23k claim. This gives a militant to civilian ratio of 67.9%-72.1%
Now a senior military source has indicated to Israeli journalists, including those from Haaretz and the
Times of Israel, that the total number given by the Hamas health ministry is largely accurate, even though they have not been able to break down how many were combatants and how many died as a direct result of the fighting.
Nobody sees this and think it's honest reporting.

Really nigga, giving "other" a distinct category that's the 3 mashed together because, reasons?
I bet this investment advisor started at a desired 1:1.5 militant to civilian ratio and simply worked his way up. He's like that kid who got results that weren't "right", so numbers get fudged to look better on paper. It's something an investment advisor like him should be pretty fluent in, lying his face off with funky powerpoint presentations and Excel diagrams.
Nobody accepts this number. Do better.
My response (to this article): Stay in your lane.
