Please update the death totals for women and children for this article.

Original: More than 31,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the start of the Israeli operation,[51] including more than 13,000 children and 9,000 women.[52] with another 7,000 people missing and presumed dead under the rubble of destroyed buildings.[53][54]

New: More than 35,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the start of the Israeli operation, including more than 7,800 children and 4,900 women, with another 10,000 people missing and presumed dead under the rubble of destroyed buildings.

Additional context:

The original information is incorrect. The UN changed its reporting to source these numbers to Gaza Ministry of Health statistics instead of the Gaza Government Media Office's (GMO's) numbers between May 6 and May 8. Because the UN is ultimately the source of the original numbers and UNICEF is mis-citing the original stats, they should be changed. UNICEF cites the numbers as from Gaza Ministry of Health, but according to BBC (and other sources), those numbers are from GMO, not Ministry of Health: Bottom of pg 2,

It may be appropriate to add a section to Misinformation regarding this change, since this inherently reflects the UN's perception that the GMO numbers dramatically overstated the percentage of women and children killed since the beginning of the conflict. That is the reason for time sensitivity around this change.

Because the numbers are closer to, but below round numbers, it is potentially easier to understand as, "including close to 8,000 children and 5,000 women." Qmarkp (talk) 21:10, 22 May 2024 (UTC) Qmarkp

Amount of Hamas fighters estimate is 20,000-25,000 fighters. US says 30%-35% killed. so ranging 7,000-8,750 kia

Data for Casualty Information

Apologies if formatting is made incorrectly. I believe it is essential that all casualty information coming from the Gaza ministry of health includes the disclaimer that the ministry is Hamas-run, and casualties include Hamas militants. Additionally, many comments related to most casualties being women and children is no longer corroborated by the UN, and this should just say 'many of the casualties are woman and children'. These changes are necessary to ensure Wikipedia maintains its political neutrality. Public Transit User (talk) 00:45, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Under the "May 15" subsection of the "Attack on Rafah" section of the article, I recommend changing "A IDF tank fired into a building housing them." to "An IDF tank fired into a building housing them." to fix grammar. Anonymous Libertarian (talk) 08:45, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Edit Request - misinformation - impersonations - nurse video

Please change nothing at the end of the second paragraph in impersonations section of the misinformation section of the article to: "The video was originally posted on the israeli government foreign ministry's Arabic twitter account and it was boosted by Edward Haïm Cohen Halala, who has reported ties to the israeli government, who has a popular social media presence with an Arabic following." using the three sources, daily beast for the foreign ministrys account being the source, newsweek for Edy Cohen boosting it and misbar for Edy Cohen having ties to the israeli government. https://www.thedailybeast.com/israels-comically-bad-disinfo-proves-theyre-losing-pr-war https://www.newsweek.com/israeli-influencer-denies-playing-gaza-nurse-viral-video-1844715 https://misbar.com/en/editorial/2023/08/18/how-does-edy-cohen-stir-up-controversy-and-mislead-the-arab-public-opinion Fanccr (talk) 23:24, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Requested move 31 May 2024

• Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip (2023–present) → Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip
• Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip → Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip (disambiguation)

– Just like we don't have a date on Israel-Hamas war, as that is by far the most significant of the wars between Israel and Hamas, the current invasion of Gaza Strip is by far the most significant of the invasions of Gaza Strip. It is the longest in duration, most extensive in damage, the highest in casualties and received the most international attention. VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 18:54, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Support while both 2009 and 2014 saw boots on the ground, this current war saw a longer protracted invasion and a guerrilla war longer than both of the other instances combined. It is distinct enough to warrant its own name The Great Mule of Eupatoria (talk) 03:16, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
