They are mere estimations. It is not as though someone is in the field counting them one by one.

Wikipedia: The Palestinian Authority controlled the Gaza Strip prior to the Palestinian elections of 2006 and the subsequent Gaza conflict between the Fatah and Hamas parties, when it lost control to Hamas; the PA continues to claim the Gaza Strip, although Hamas exercises de facto control....the United Nations continues to recognize the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) as the "representative of the Palestinian people"... communication between the political and military wings of Hamas is difficult, owing to the thoroughness of Israeli intelligence surveillance and the existence of an extensive base of informants.... TL;DR version: No one is in charge in Gaza. And that's precisely the problem  (October 3, 2023 at 8:34 pm)Rev. Rye Wrote:(October 3, 2023 at 5:33 pm)BrianSoddingBoru4 Wrote: It’s good.

But that's not the journalistic problem with the excerpt. Boru
