    Show me the methodology because that’s basically saying 100% of adult male deaths are Hamas soldiers. Smells like bullshit to me. I’d bet the number is closer to 1k than 10k.

      Yeah I’m pretty sure this is Israel’s methodology for calculating Hamas deaths, 100% of adult men are soldiers. It’s obviously a lie but I do believe that’s where the number comes from.

      You think Israel dropped 25,000 bombs, invaded, and has been waging urban combat for 4 months, but has only killed 1,000 Hamas militants? That’s just silly.

      Also Hamas uses child soldiers extensively (including as suicide bombers) so you can drop the “adult” part.
