Considering around half the population in Gaza is children and the death toll from Israel is approaching 10,000 (might even be past it at this point, since it’s hard to determine deaths in Gaza City from all the tanks), the amount of children murdered statistically has to be way higher than 3,000.

If Hamas said it, we should hope they’re lying like they lied about the hospital
Sorry but it wasn’t a lie
Yea, it was.
Israel claim Hamas lied, Al Jazeera proved Hamas didn’t
Source please
Your article is behind a pay wall. Care to paste the Important parts below?
If you’re referring to the number of deaths from that explosion, then that was a mistranslation that media outlets copied and ran with.
TLDR: A more accurate translation of the original statement would have been victims or casualties. Not deaths. But when many news outlets were asked the source of the claim (as they had provided none in their articles) none responded with a source. But the source was later found and translated properly.
Edit: This is not support for Hamas, they can fuck off. It’s just pointing out some very sloppy and irresponsible journalism in regards to that specific instance.
Was it also a misquote when Hamas said it was an Israeli airstrike?
There are still people who think it was an Israeli strike. Israel’s contradictory evidence, as well as the direction of the rocket, make it much more likely to be Israel.
There are still people who think the earth is flat, so what?
No I’m talking like people that matter. I saw that one analysis a while back that states it’s unlikely the rocket came from inside Gaza.
What you saw was a lingering desperate attempt to show that Hamas and PIJ are good guys.
Death toll as of yesterday was reported around 8,000. The US/coalition 20-year war in Afghanistan was (rounding UP) 50,000. That puts it at an average of 2,500 civilian deaths per year. Even THAT number was high enough for people to call for war crimes investigations. Now Israel has reached over 3x the yearly average in only 3 weeks. On track to pass 10,000 by the one month mark, too. I’m not saying that Isreal doesn’t have the right to defend its self, or even defense through offense, but there is a point that we need to agree is too far; and I think we are a bit past it.
Dang, didn’t believe that number of 8000 deaths. But Al Jazeera is reporting that that’s what the Gaza Health Ministry says.
