(Algemeiner) Richard Behar - On Friday, AP alleged that IDF air strikes on Gazan houses killed mostly civilians during last summer's war against Hamas. The Intelligence and Information Center in Israel is reviewing civilian casualties name by name. In January they reported that of the 1,600 Gazans killed that the Center has identified, 55% were combatants and 45% were non-combatants. The AP article focused on a particular subset of the fatalities - those killed while inside houses. Yet it is not clear that Israel was responsible, since some 2,600(+) Palestinian rockets and mortar bombs landed in Palestinian residential areas. So of the 247 houses struck, how many were struck by Palestinian fire? Finally, the article cites "UN casualty figures," but they are not really UN figures. They are Hamas figures passed on to the UN. 2015-02-17 00:00:00Full Article
