My question is how many deaths were actually caused by Hamas when their goal was to capture living hostages. With the knowledge that tanks shelled civilian hostages to kill Hamas fighters it seems plausible that Israel could be responsible for many or most of the deaths.
We'll never know unless there's an independent UN investigation into Oct 7th
Hamas did a lot of killing on October 7th. It's not like it wasn't filmed...by multiple people including themselves
Certainly. But looking at the footage and pictures almost all Hamas fighters had AK's, they certainly did not bring a million RPG's
My current assumption is that every person with bullet wound or heavy grenade explosion was shot by killed by Hamas.
But most of those bodies completely burnt to a crisp were likely shot with IDF tank shots or hellfire missiles from the helicopters.
There is a reason that there were 250 Hamas soldiers burnt to a crisp that were initially counted as israeli deaths because they were next to hostages. Those Hamas fighters certainly didn't all spontaneously combust and likely neither did the hostages next to them.
They certainly killed people, but now we know Israel also killed their own people. I want to see the breakdown.
I would imagine many but not most were killed by the IDF. Then again, they are the ones with tanks and helicopters.
