Dozens of Hamas members "martyred" in 2016. Israel only killed 2 of them.

Hamas put out its annual statistics of its "martyrs."

It shows Hamas was far more efficient at killing its own people than Israel was last year.

According to the Al Qassam website  and Hamas newspaper Felesteen, 29 Hamas members were "martyred" in 2016. This included 21 people killed in tunnel collapses, 2 in training accidents, 2 killed in work accidents, one killed while trying to dismantle a bomb, one died of previous wounds, one killed by Israel in Hebron after he murdered Rabbi Miki Mark, and one who was presumably assassinated by the Mossad in Tunisia.

Islamic Jihad also released a list of its nine "martyrs" for the year. None were killed by Israel in 2016, although one died from wounds from an Israeli attack in 2006. The rest were killed in work accidents, tunnel accidents, or even heart attacks.
