  We're talking about the demographic fractions. The official Israeli counts support that they're killing militants to civilians at a ratio of 2:1 --- which is horrible, but better than warfare in urban areas usually achieves It is probably not as favorable of a ratio as Israel states), but not as terrible as the Gaza Health Ministry numbers that imply substantially all of the casualties are civilians. Unfortunately, Israel's adversary has chosen a set of tactics that put civilians in greater danger.

      Of course-- this is a point already made in my comment-- "It is probably not as favorable of a ratio as Israel states". We obviously cannot simply take the numbers from either Israel or Hamas.
