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

Hmm, it's not entirely accurate since she colored a bunch of civilians too. I'd love to have this mess in an excel file so we can figure out the exact number. It's different from the Haaretz numbers here. I suspect Haaretz didn't count the reserve soldiers with the soldiers while this list has (res) in front of their names.

Looks correct, Israel clearly tried to bury all the military names towards the bottom but its not 100% IDF after half way, the person highlighting just gave up. Its not even like theres comma delineation.

i'm not sure about counting conscript reserves as legitimate targets but it's a settler colony so fuck 'em they should've stayed home or had as much spine as that swifty.
