The casualty number comes from the Gaza Ministry of Health, not Hamas directly. It is taken by counting names. These names can be cross referenced with the Israeli controlled population registry of Gaza. They can also be searched on the internet, and in many cases you will find real people behind these names, with social media profiles, graduation records, employee profiles, obituaries, etc. This list is public, so you are free to download it and search for evidence of tampering, duplicates, fabrications, people still alive, people not from Gaza etc.

To save you time, I’d like to inform you that this has been done, and the conclusion is that the count published by the ministry of health is believable. But again you are free to prove me wrong and search for these abnormalities.

I will not engage on the question whether the human caused climate change is real or whether the 2020 US presidential election results were fraudulent. I take it as self evident that any arguments to the contrary are indeed conspiracy theories with no basis in reality.
