While Israel and the Palestinians disagree over the numbers of militants versus civilians killed in past wars, Israel’s accounts of Palestinian casualties have come close to the Gaza ministry’s.
But Israel is always going to overestimate militant numbers. In these kinds of wars simply having been killed qualifies any male over 14 as a “combatant”.
This is interesting:

True!
