I've already explained this, but will do so again. Real casualty figures are probably midway between both sides' estimates. Some reports from the region will turn out true - but we don't know yet - and some reports true as verified by Israel. Israel has admitted to multiple mistakes and operational failures and there are 70 ongoing investigations. If soldiers are proven to have done wrong, they deserve to be punished and will be. This is what tends to happen with Western democracies.
Hamas is a death cult that hides in tunnels, uses schools, hospitals and mosques as weapon depots and films its own war crimes as credible sources. The group censors and threatens to kill journalists and humanitarian workers. That doesn't mean that Israel can be excused for everything that happens in this war and time will tell after investigations and the due process that will inevitably follow.
However, a Reporters Without Borders statement in 2023 said: "Hamas and the other Palestinian political groups in Gaza continue to intimidate journalists in the Strip, especially if they are suspected of working with foreign or Israeli media."
Human Rights Watch has reported that Palestinian authorities, including Hamas, routinely arrest and abuse journalists who are critical of them.
During the 2014 Gaza war, multiple journalists said they withheld reports on Hamas launching rockets from civilian areas as they feared retaliation.
I don't understand why you consistently WANT to believe what comes out of Gaza in support of Hamas despite the coverage being clearly censored?
