Details

As we are told via the news about the death toll in Gaza, I wanted to mention something that doesn't get brought up much ... those death counts, coming from the Hamas-run government of Gaza, do not distinguish between civilian deaths and the deaths of Hamas fighters ... we are left to assume that they are all civilians. Are they?

This news story below states that the IDF estimetes it has killed about 8,000 members of Hamas so far. I would assume those deaths are part of the Gazan count of how many have died.

IDF has killed 2,000 Hamas operatives since truce ended on December 1 — spokesman

DF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says that since the end of the temporary ceasefire in the Gaza Strip on December 1, the military has killed more than 2,000 Hamas operatives in strikes and during ground combat.

This brings the military’s estimates of Hamas fighters killed in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war to around 8,000. Another 1,000 Hamas terrorists were killed in Israel on October 7, during the terror group’s onslaught ...

You might question the accuracy of the numbers from both Hamas and the IDF, but the point is, details matter.
