Sounds like a reasonable decision. The Hamas-run label was used to denote that the death toll coming out of the Gaza Health Ministry was not very trustworthy. The numbers have since been declared trustworthy by pretty much any credible agency around the world but the most invested hasbaristas. Therefore today the label has become misleading when it comes to this information. It adds uncertainty to trustworthy information which only serves the goals of the hasbaristas who seek to convince that the death toll is significantly lower.
But it is currently run by Mufiz al-Makhalalati who is a Hamas-politician.
We don’t call Israeli prisons “Jewish-Power-run” just because they are currently run by Ben-Gvir. Maybe we should though.
I Germany, I hear this often, but it’s also often mentioned that the death numbers reported by them were usually reliable.
It’s also still mentioned three times in the German Wikipedia article.

Nr 2 and 3 of the English version describe a change in the history section and should therefore stay there. Otherwise, you remove relevant information.
IMO, Nr. 2 and 3 are not redundant at all.
The 40,000 killed statistic is reliable in that the killed persons name, identity number etc are reported to MoH officials and recorded by them, and the dead are seen by the officials. However the figure is a small subset of the actual number dead. 200,000 to 300,000 dead in Gaza in the past year is a conservative estimate.
Yeah, which I think is a real weakness in the reporting.
40k dead is bad, but it’s a rounding error of the total population.
A tenth of the total population dead, a fifth or a quarter of the population subjected to severe permanent disabilities, and nearly the entire population displaced, homeless, and presently starving to death is a clear genocide. They really are trying to exterminate them. It strains my ability to comprehend. In any case, “40,000” does not begin to capture the current scale of what has become a pretty standard, unambiguous genocide.
Good. It adds nothing except a dogwhistle. Most media never said “Hamas ran” before.They all started doing it in unison since last year.
Israel banned all journalists from entering Gaza. Then claiming that all information from Gaza is untrustworthy has to be one of the scummiest propaganda tricks ever pulled.
Our media propaganda apparatus going along with it is abhorrent.
