    Hamas’s numbers are at a 68% civilian casualty ratio,

    Hamas’s numbers? Where are those?

    And I’m sure that Hamas has inflicted some of the current casualties in Gaza, but it’s not likely to be a large enough percentage to be notable.

    It’s different in the case of October 7th because we know a significant number of Israeli civilian casualties was inflicted by IDF shelling or reckless fire. For example, they had orders to prevent Hamas soldiers from retreating even if they had hostages (which they did by shelling Hamas with the hostages).

      Current Israeli numbers of Hamas’s attack by social security data.

      It’s different in the case of October 7th because we know a significant number of Israeli civilian casualties was inflicted by IDF shelling or reckless fire.

      Oh, we do know that, do we? Do you have any actual numbers to back this claim up?

        Oh I thought you meant Hamas released their casualty numbers. I’ll just say that when you see “Israeli casualty ratio” most people will think “casualty ratio in October 7th”, not “ratio of casualties inflicted by Israel”, and same for “Hamas casualty ratio”.

        Oh, we do know that, do we? Do you have any actual numbers to back this claim up?

        So while there are no concrete numbers (I think those are lost to time at this point), we do know it happened in a significant capacity.
