      Notably hamas being essentially the government there includes clerks cooks janitors, plumbers.

      Kinda hard to personally blow up the building where bob the plumber sleeps killing him his kids and 10 other folks and claim to have hit any military targets.

      Governments often claim to kill a military target when they kill a prime age male even without realistically identifying a combatant especially where bombing is used.

      It’s probably closer to 80-90% civilians

        Yeah likely 90%+ (90% is what you get when you assume a civilian man was killed for every civilian woman).
