If you read through the linked twitter thread it seems like it’s a significant majority too. Obviously this is totally contrary to what Israel has previously claimed.
I also suspect that many of the civilian deaths were caused by the IDF using them as cover, especially at the festival.
In any case, next time someone talks about indiscriminately killing civilians, you can point out that unlike the IDF, Hamas has predominantly and objectively focused on military targets

They've got a mandatory serve for 2 years, no? How many of the list were active at the time?

Would love a good % of "civilians" killed because it's looking like virtually all of the 1400 were enlisted at some point recently.

It does look like a solid 60% are higher ranks though, so justifiably fucked.

All I’m gonna say is that the if they’re gonna treat “military aged male” as a meaningful distinction, then “army reservist” should be one too

except we think it's ghoulish that obama-drone did that so we should specify when we're using our own standards vs using the imperialists' standards to make a sick burn
