The statement from Hamas reads below:

Note that while the Gaza ministry of health is ran by Hamas, the UN and several other bodies believe their numbers to usually be accurate. Also notable is that fatality figures released by the Gaza MoH do not distinguish between militants and civilians, though around half of fatalities are claimed to be women and children.
