Their source for deaths in Gaza is "CNN via IDF" but reading that article, it's actually an interview re: a specifically unconfirmed report from another news agency. Mixing that with data produced with very specific methodology, like they've done with the NIH data they're also using, seems like a bit of a faux pas.
Reent, published, actual figures (instead of ambiguously attributed early ones) show that they'd be up at the top end of the graph they've produced, not the bottom. https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2025/aug/21...
the only thing that those numbers mean it's how many of dead combatants IDF can identify/name.
if somebody killed holding RPG, he doesn't become civilian just because IDF doesn't know his name
Maybe that applied then but does it apply now? Each of their soldiers wear cameras. They see it in hd anytime their soldiers shooting women, old men, children. I guess only their snipers are getting away with dropping civilians constantly (as many British and American doctors are testifying they saw in gazan hospitals). And on top of this their drones target with visual data. So they see that too.
I think in this war the IDF has a very very good idea of how many civilians they killed. At some point it indicates that they have set targets they are striving to meet before the world stops them.
where from you got idea that each soldier wears camera ? from ukraine ? it's definitely not case in Israel.
doctors in hospital testify to something that they didn't see happening ?
and none from what you wrote contradicts that article/whatever parent posted is misleading
