It depends on if you believe Hamas's numbers, which is dubious



No one doubts Hamas’s numbers. Israel doesn’t really contest them and they’ve been accurate in the past. https://www.vice.com/en/article/israeli-intelligence-health-...

> Israeli intelligence services have studied civilian casualty figures released by the Hamas-run Ministry of Health in Gaza and concluded the figures were generally accurate, despite earlier public claims by U.S. and Israeli officials that the ministry’s statistics are manipulated.

Looking at photos of the area makes it pretty clear, too. You don’t raze that many buildings bloodlessly.

If anything, it may be an undercount. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna187100

Hamas hasn't admitted to a single combatant dying. Is that realistic?
