Israeli data shows 83 percent of Gaza war dead are civilians: Report
Israeli military data reveals a civilian death rate of 83% in Gaza, contradicting official claims and highlighting a disproportionate impact on noncombatants during the conflict.
- Figures from a classified Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate database show at least 83% of Palestinians killed were civilians, with Gaza health authorities recording 53,000 deaths by May, the joint investigation found.
- Despite public statements asserting lower civilian losses, Israeli government and army spokespeople claimed a 1:1 or 2:1 civilian-to-combatant ratio, but the classified database reveals a much higher civilian share.
- Figures in the database show 8,900 named fighters dead or probably dead, with 7,330 certain and 1,570 probable, while Brik said, `They lie non-stop—both the military echelon and the political echelon`.
- Rights groups argue the data bolsters genocide claims, while the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant over war crimes in Gaza.
- Experts note an 83% civilian kill rate in Gaza is exceptionally high, comparable only to Srebrenica, Rwanda, and Mariupol, rising to more than 86 percent if probable deaths are excluded; the IDF's massive ordnance has contributed to staggering civilian fatalities.
