The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says more than 10,000 people have been killed in the Palestinian territory since Israel started bombing it last month.

More than 4,000 of those killed were children, the ministry said.

The number surpasses the UN’s figure of about 5,400 killed in Gaza in all of Israel’s previous conflicts with Hamas since it took control of the territory in 2007.

Israel began bombing Gaza after Hamas killed 1,400 people and kidnapped more than 200 others on 7 October.

    Why the shift, all of a sudden, from many news outlets to “Hamas-run health ministry”?

      News outlets don’t like it when you make them look stupid by telling obvious lies that their institutions should have been able to see right through, and then they run with it as fact.
