🧵GAZA CASUALTY UPDATE: IDF has killed 14,000 combatants; Hamas claims 32,600 total fatalities. Despite analysis showing Hamas numbers faked media continues to cite as fact. Claim ~70% killed are women & children is a lie. Civilian/combatant ratio at low 1.3:1. See analysis: 1/7Image
At Feb 29 IDF said ~13,000 combatants killed. Daily reports since show 25+ killed/day and 200 killed at Shifa. Total killed thus at least 14,000. Add 1,609 killed inside Israel at 10/7 plus 2,500+ captured plus ~10,000+ injured = 28,000+ neutralized. 2/
Story of the war is incredibly low civilian/combatant ratio even accepting Hamas fatality claims. Compare to 3:1-5:1 by US & UK action in Iraq & Afghanistan. But the world does not want to tell this story. See key article by actual expert @SpencerGuard 3/newsweek.com/israel-has-cre…
Critical analysis by @adiwyner Professor of Statistics & Data Science at UPenn. Statistical analysis clearly shows Hamas faked casualties, particularly women & children are grossly inflated. See full article. 4/tabletmag.com/sections/news/…
Yet media continues to cite Hamas numbers – but not IDF numbers – as reasonable, even though casualty figures for many months are issued by the so-called Hamas “Government Media Office” sourced from social media, self reporting on Google forms, etc. 5/ Image
Many claim relying on Hamas numbers is reasonable becaused they have been reliable in the past. This is a blatantly false. Hamas faked numbers in every “round” particularly with massive fabrication of civilians killed, and is also doing it today. 6/
See original thread with 5.8 million views from December that exposed numerous statistical impossibilities in Hamas’ daily reports, where on many days there were fewer men reported killed from one day to the next, among other things. END

🧵The assertion that Israel has no right of self defense against Hamas within Gaza because it is "occupied" is false (as often stated by @mehdirhasan). Inane claim is based on ICJ advisory opinion – but a key clause in this same document says the opposite! Analysis: 1/Image
First, notion that Gaza is occupied is baseless and relies on fabricated int'l law applied to Israel alone. But for this discussion let's assume Gaza is in fact occupied. With this in hand people next look to an Int'l Court of Justice (ICJ) Advisory Opinion from 2004. 2/
ICJ opinion is: "Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory" about separation barrier. Importantly it is an advisory opinion, not codified int'l law. So it's not actual law, but let's again accept it is. 3/

🧵Fake NGOs, much of media and Israel haters are already pretending Hezbollah is not using civilian Lebanon for its military, hiding missiles & arms depots, etc. inside homes. They ignore the many examples below. Why? Because their favored side – Hezbollah – is losing. 1/Image
Dramatic video of cruise missile hidden inside civilian home with wall that can be removed for launching. The size & location of the missile is shocking – but won’t sway the Israel haters. 2/
Rockets stored in civilian building, secondary explosion sets of rocket that hits nearby building. 3/

🧵HAMAS’ HUMAN SHIELD STRATEGY COMPRISES 9 KEY ELEMENTS. A strategy devised over 20 years to force Israel to choose between: (1) granting Hamas immunity to commit 10/7 again (2) removing Hamas knowing civilians will be killed. Post-10/7, immunity was not an option. Analysis: 1/Image
1. Tunnels represents Hamas’ core human shield doctrine, with a dense 1.4km of tunnels for every square km of Gaza. Many 1000s of shafts are found inside civilian buildings, mosques, schools, etc. @nytimes did a major exposé of Hamas' tunnel network.

2. Hamas booby-trapped 40% of buildings in Gaza, the main above ground transformation of civilian Gaza for combat. Many IDF soldiers have been killed by these traps. Neutralizing this threat has caused high destruction in Gaza. See thread for more detail:

🧵40% of Gaza buildings were booby-trapped by Hamas — a core component of its human shield strategy. All of Gaza became a battlefield due to Hamas. IDF reports 96,500 rigged sites; UN data shows ~250,000 structures in Gaza. Explains why much of Gaza is destroyed. Sources: 1/Image
@Doron_Kadosh reports on the massive booby trap threat which just killed 4 soldiers. Groups of 30-40 buildings in Rafah were rigged in advance, with cameras and remote activation. 96,500 rigged sites in all of Gaza, 14,000 in Rafah along. Staggering. 2/
According the the UN UNOSAT (United Nations Satellite Centre) which has mapped Gaza since beginning of war, there are 248,268 total structures in Gaza. Thus 38.9% of Gaza was rigged by Hamas to explode on the IDF. Link to UN data: 3/ unosat.org/products/3904

🧵@kenroth inadvertently admits Israel is not starving Gaza, there is no siege or famine. He claims Israel is "smart" by masking a starvation strategy by allowing 100 trucks/day vs 500 prewar; but only 73/day of food entered pre-war! Roth loses track of his lies. See detail: 1/Image
Debate guest @spencerguard asks Roth question see below. Simply put: how is it possible to claim Israel is enacting a siege and strategy to deliberately starve Gazans when 29,000 trucks have entered Gaza? (it's 49,000 today). Roth does not have a credible answer, so he lies. 2/Image
Roth replies (below) claiming Israel is “smart” by masking siege & starvation, letting in “drips & drabs” of food, admits “people are not dying,” Israel is letting in 100 trucks/day vs 500 pre-war. He inadvertently admits no siege, no “dribs & drabs,” no famine or starvation! 3/Image

🧵Many leading worldwide military experts affirm that Israel is complying with rules of war in Gaza – no war crimes, no genocide, no indiscriminate attacks. In sharp contrast all reports by NGOs UN ICJ ICC claiming war crimes never cite military experts. Review of 10 experts: 1/Image
John Spencer @SpencerGuard is the leading expert on urban warfare, at West Point the top US military academy. Spencer has written extensively how Israel’s actions to limit civilian harm are unprecedented. Like the others, he is simply pro-truth. 2/

British General Sir John McColl was Deputy Commander of NATO Forces, so his view carries weight. He wrote piece titled “I know Israel’s doing all it can to save civilians” which says it all. NGOs can’t cite NATO leaders to support their fake “reports.” 3/
