To put the claim of "doing everything to protect civilians" under the loop


On Oct 7:

Authorities have identified a total of 274 soldiers and 859 non-soldiers killed during the brutal assault. The latter figure includes 57 Israel Police officers and 38 local security officers. It is unclear which of these individuals were on duty when killed. Removing those victims leaves a figure of 764 civilians.

Ignoring casualties from friendly fire (Israeli tanks shelling houses with hostages in them, hellfire missiles used at the Nova festival) that comes to 35% soldiers vs civilians deaths. (32% when including Police and Security with civilians, 48% when including those with soldiers)

Israel claims to have killed 8,000 Hamas terrorists with a death toll of 23,708 + 7,000 missing presumed dead. That would be 8,000 terrorists vs 22,700 civilians, or a 35% 'success rate'. (And that's basically assuming 90% of all male deaths are terrorists)

The most moral army can't even claim to do any better than the terrorists they're surgically targeting?
Hamas was more successful in targeting 'combatants' than the IDF?

The claim is "up to 9,000" now, 100% of males are terrorists... (70% of deaths in Gaza are women and children)
