A report has found that around 72% of people killed in the war between Israel and Hamas are between the ages of 13 and 55 and are men, a group that usually includes Hamas fighters
Salo Aizenberg of the US-based Honest Reporting organisation told The Telegraph that Hamas had quietly removed the names of thousands of Palestinians it had previously said had been killed in its March 2025 update.
Hamas had previously claimed that 70% of the victims were women and children, but that information no longer appears in recent lists, the report said.
Aizenberg said: “The new Hamas death list from March 2025 excludes 3,400 deaths that were previously considered ‘identified’ in the August and October 2024 reports, including 1,080 children.
These ‘deaths’ never happened.
The numbers have been falsified, yet again.”
Hamas numbers questioned
A December study by the Henry Jackson Society also concluded that Hamas exaggerated the number of war dead.
Andrew Fox, the study’s author, explained: “We knew there were many errors in their reporting.
One possible explanation is that Hamas’ computer systems stopped working in November 2023, making accurate reporting difficult.
Even so, the lists are so unreliable that the world’s media should not use them as reliable sources.”
Fox also said that Hamas appears to have revised the list to make it more convincing, accepting names without any evidence.
“They must be eliminating names that they can’t substantiate in any way,” he added.
Aizenberg’s research compares old lists with new ones, looking for names that have disappeared.
“Hamas publishes the lists in PDF format, which makes comparisons difficult, but we transfer the names to an Excel spreadsheet for bulk analysis,” Fox explained.
The report notes that even the UN uses Hamas’s numbers, but with a note that they are unverified.
