You can believe Hamas, and its puppet the “U.N. in Gaza,” or you can believe the Israei military. You have a few decades of experience with what Hamas (and Hezbollah, and the PLO, and Saddam Hussein, and Gamal Abdel Nasser, and Bashar Al-Assad, and a dozen other Arab terrorist groups and leaders of Arab states) says, and you have the same amount of experience with reporting on casualty figures, but not in the heat of battle, not at once (that should itself cause eyebrows to be raised), but slowly, as it takes quite a while to check and double-check, and besides, not every Hamas fighter is carrying identification, and some bodies — those of suicide bombers, for example — are not exactly easy to identify.
As for the endlessly repeated Hamas claims about “innocent civlians” — how many of those “civilians” would you want to characterize as “innocent” and how many as heartfelt supporters of a murderous Jihad against Israel and other Infidels? How many of the Germans who died in the raids on Dresden and Berlin and Hamburg were “innocent civilians” and how many heil-hitlering loyal followers of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich? (Here.)
