Only civilians killed in Gaza?
Listening to journalists reporting on the war in Gaza, one might easily get the impression that Israeli forces have killed 15,900 civilians, mostly women and children. Why do reporters not mention that Hamas fighters are included in the Hamas-run health ministry’s numbers? In the 2008-09 war Hamas fighters made up nearly half of those killed, according to a U.S. congressional service. In the ongoing war Israel estimates that at least 5,000 Hamas fighters have been killed (The Times of Israel, December 5), thus making up one third of those killed.
