Three points from today's Guardian live feed:

At least 18 people are reported to have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on a Greek Orthodox church compound in Gaza.

The Palestinian health ministry says 13 people, including five children, were killed after an Israeli assault on the Nur Shams refugee camp in the West Bank.

The UN has also warned that any escalation of military activities in the Gaza Strip would be “catastrophic” for people there.


At least 18 people killed: 13 people 'including 5 children'. That is, by my count, 13. Do you just take all these claims at face value, without any scientific rigour?
Or is it a case of 'any claim by Hamas must be true, any claim by Israel must be false'?
