The United Nations suddenly adjusted its death toll count in Gaza to show that less women and children were killed, admitting widely quoted Hamas data is unreliable.
The more civilians die the better PR it’s for Hamas. Not only is it a non-issue for them but it’s actually a good thing. Being martyred gets you straight into heaven or what ever their equivalance for it is. There’s a very good reason the combatants themselves are hiding in the tunnels while the civilians are placed as human shields on top of them. It’s the same reason for why they shoot rockets from next to schools, mosques, hospitals, refugee camps etc. and for why they started moving people back into their homes during the cease-fire. They know that the fear of killing civilians deters Israeli strikes. I know this is probably something that’s impossible to believe by someone that’s waist deep in the “pro-palestinian” propaganda but Israel is actually going into great lenghts to minimize civilian casualties. Nobody cares less about the lives of the palestinian population than Hamas.
