    Right, 20-25k deaths (of which about 8k are Hamas soldiers). That’s 1% of the population total, or about 0.8% of the civilian population. The person I responded to claimed 10% without any evidence.

        8k dead Hamas militants estimated by Israeli military a few weeks ago. Overall strength was 20-25k militants at the beginning of the war as you said.

        You need to remember that Hamas is both a political and military organization - 20-25k Hamas members doesn’t mean 20-25k Hamas soldiers.
