Pakistani propagandists are falsely claiming that, after Israelis, the highest number of soldiers killed by Hamas were Indian nationals. This claim is completely fake and baseless. There is no credible evidence or official report supporting this. Only a few Indian-origin Israeli soldiers (Israeli citizens of Indian heritage) and 2 Indian citizens have been killed (as per early reports) in the conflict, not Indian Army soldiers.
Influencer accounts such as @NavCom24 and @News_Politics24 amplified this misinformation across social media, presenting it as breaking news.
#BREAKING: After Israelis, highest number of soldiers killed by Hamas were Indian nationals, report.
Truth: No Indian Soldiers Killed in Hamas Conflict
As this post gained traction on social media, it drew our attention. The D-Intent Data Team immediately conducted an investigation using keyword research and credible media sources. Our investigation led us to a report by Hindustan Times titled “2 Indians killed in Israel-Hamas conflict, three injured, RS told.” In this report, Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh responded to CPI(M) MP PP Suneer’s question in Parliament, confirming that two Indian citizens were killed and three were injured in the conflict since October 7, 2023.
These individuals were civilians, not Indian Army soldiers. No credible or official report supports the claim that Indian soldiers were killed by Hamas. Only a few Israeli soldiers of Indian origin (Israeli citizens with Indian heritage) have died during the conflict.
