The ICC has also issued a warrant for Hamas leader Mohammed Deif, who Israel says they have killed.

According to the ICC, the chamber “found reasonable grounds to believe” that Deif was “responsible for the crimes against humanity of murder; extermination; torture; and rape and other form of sexual violence; as well as the war crimes of murder, cruel treatment, torture; taking hostages; outrages upon personal dignity; and rape and other form of sexual violence”.

It also said there were reasonable grounds to believe the crimes against humanity were “part of a widespread and systematic attack directed by Hamas and other armed groups against the civilian population of Israel”.

For Netanyahu and Gallant, who was replaced as defence minister earlier this month, the chamber “found reasonable grounds to believe” that they “each bear criminal responsibility for the following crimes as co-perpetrators for committing the acts jointly with others: the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts”.

It also found reasonable grounds to believe that “each bear criminal responsibility as civilian superiors for the war crime of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population”.

I already knew, I just wanted you to check.

"Airwars assumes civilian status unless there is evidence to the contrary. Evidence includes any suggestion in local sources that directly associate individuals with participation in hostilities or membership of a militant group. This may include insignia belonging to militant groups active in Gaza (such as a flag on a coffin); or individuals in uniform or holding weapons. If the only source claiming militant status is the perpetrator (i.e. Israel), this is included as context in Airwars assessments but is not considered definitive evidence....Note that Hamas administrative officials (such as political activists) would generally not be considered militants by Airwars, unless there is evidence of participation in hostilities or membership in Hamas’ armed wing"

I'm a little surprised they found any airstrikes that had militant combatant deaths with that methodology. If they can't find a local reference to the people being explicitly listed as combatants in some way, they assume they were all civilians. IDF estimates of militant casaulties from an incident are not counted. This seems very unlikely to produce an accurate figure.

In other words use airwars as a source if one wants to maximise alleged civilian numbers and minimise Hamas numbers.


Another chestnut ignored is Hamas must be fully aware how many of its fighters have been killed in the war yet deliberately does not separate Hamas fighters in its death statistics released by Gazan ministry of health..

There are a few obvious reasons why Hamas does not differentiate civilian deaths from military deaths.

And we know Israel does not do the same despite Ghost Patrol 's spectacular failure in accusing Israel of doing exactly that.
