With 37,000 Palestinians marked as suspected militants, it would mean they expected up to 555,000 - 740,000 civilian casualties.

How did you arrive at these numbers?

  • Not GP but:

    > Lavender listed as many as 37,000 Palestinian men

    > they were permitted to kill 15 or 20 civilians during airstrikes

    37000 * 15 = 555000 37000 * 20 = 740000

    • They claim the system has 90% accuracy, so they would have to actually kill about 10% more people than these numbers, to offset the 10% error rate. So between 610500 and 814000. The whole Gaza strip had about 2 million people before the current siege.
