No mention of Hamas soldiers. Are they not involved in this conflict?
No mention of number of rockets fired by both sides either.
On Breaking Points, on Thursday I think, they said 13 Hamas fighters have been killed.
Interesting… What percentage of the deaths do you think are Hamas soldiers?
I have no idea. It’s got to be some non-zero %.
But it is a notable part of the Hamas strategy to not make a distinction between their soldiers and Palestinian civilians, so it’s very difficult to determine.
Women and children accounted for 3 out of 5 last I heard (hypothetical child soldiers not withstanding). I believe the ratio is 2 children and one woman, so if we speculate that 4th person is just another civilian male, then 1 out of 5 maybe? Do you think that sounds correct?
Extremely generous estimate, Hamas is not half of all Palestinian men.
