AK2004 > "the Palestinian side grossly exaggerated the Palestinian death toll in the operation"

Sorry, that's not a reference. I see no mention of a body count by any authority, merely an assertion by the Canada-Israel committee.

> it has been proven that the number of killed was less than 10% of what palestinians claimed. I can bring many more references including the one where Palestinians staged the death of a child....

It's not necessary to "prove" anything. All that is required is a body count by a competent authority.

> now that we know of reliability of muslim sources maybe you can provide something more believable?

You can believe what you wish. The source I quoted specifically mentions the source of the information which I cited:

>>The report is based on death certificates issued by Palestinian hospitals in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, which Palestinian health officials say assures its accuracy and reliability.

All the figures cited in the report are of children and minors below the age of 18, according to Dr. Riyad Awad, head of the HealthInformationCenter, who prepared the report.

“I am ready and willing to answer any questions with regard to the report. I can tell you that the information contained in the report is 100% accurate,” Awad told Palestine Times.<<

You are lying. The Palestinians claimed about 500 were killed, and final tally came in at 497.
