We know from footage Hamas/PIJ killed a significant number, including civilians. Back in late 2023 I was figuring maybe about 75/25 Hamas/IDF ratio. Soon after, we saw a lot of evidence of IDF tanks and helicopters firing on civilians, not to mention the dozens of exploded cars. But that is a LOT of explosives in those statistics. 50/50, 33/66?

Educated guess is every burnt body was killed by IDF and every shot body was killed by Hamas.

The article states that the bombs were dropped over Gaza, not Israel. It also states that the airforce, in hindsight, feels they acted too careful out of fear for civilian casualties.

I've read some of the 'reasoning' from this OP in the past and I'm afraid the twist that "the Israelis just went and killed themselves" is mostly wishful thinking

The article states that the bombs were dropped over Gaza,

Where are you seeing that in the article?

It really only takes 5-10 minutes to read

during the day fighter jets dropped 530 tons of bombs on Gaza

Due to the article's failure to make its claims explicit, that doesn't explain all of this:

Indeed, data revealed here for the first time shows that during the fighting on October 7, the Air Force fired 11,000 shells, dropped more than 500 heavy one-ton bombs and launched 180 missiles. According to the data, during the battle the Air Force eliminated 1,000 fighters. Even if this is an exaggeration, these are impressive numbers.

If you're really interested, I can only keep recommending you read the article yourself. You'll find it explicitly states that said missiles and shells were fired by helicopters and UAV's.

But what do you need to have explained about it? How can this still be news to anyone?? Do you want to believe the Israeli airforce only shoots flowers and thank you notes?

I don't know if you're purposefully misunderstanding me or what. Not gonna bother.
