To even state that all civilian men could be considered as combatants is highly misleading and deeply offensive. APaul2021 (talk) 20:58, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Bunnypranav (talk) 05:47, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Typo in "Civilian to Military ratio" section
editin the fourth paragraph of the section "civilian to military ratio", the first sentence says "Sources have doubted the Israeli figures by questioning the IDF's ability to distinguish civilians from casualties." I'm going to guess that this is a typo and the author meant to write "Sources have doubted the Israeli figures by questioning the IDF's ability to distinguish civilians from combatants" so I propose that this be changed. Apologies if I've misinterpreted the wording here. Jphuffinstuff (talk) 16:03, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes definitely, though I think it is getting difficult for anyone to distinguish civilians from casualties! NadVolum (talk) 16:18, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Section entitled Israel Should be expanded
editI came to this article looking for information on IDF casualties in the ground operation in Gaza. This information should be added along with information on casualties of attacks on civilians in Israel. I'm not able to do the edit due to restrictions on this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Droytenberg (talk • contribs) 16:15, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
Update
editGHM has managed to list 34,344 Palestinians killed by Israeli attacks in the territory, publishing a list of names, ages, gender and ID numbers that cover more than 80% of Palestinians killed in the war so far.
The remaining 7,613 people included in its death toll, which is now above 41,000, are Palestinians whose bodies have been received by hospitals and morgues, but whose identities have not yet been confirmed.
