A report by the Henry Jackson Society (HJS), a conservative think tank, alleges that casualty figures from Gaza during the war were exaggerated to portray Israel as deliberately targeting civilians, the Telegraph reported on Saturday.
HJS researchers assert that the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry does not differentiate between combatants and civilians in its death toll, and includes deaths from natural causes, illnesses and even fatalities predating the war. The report also accuses the ministry of inflating the number of women and children killed.
