Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Study: About 90 Paleos were killed by Hamas Rockets falling short
2021-06-29
[BESAcenter] ...Hamas aims to kill as many Israeli civilians as possible, but its rockets place both Israelis and Palestinians in peril, because many of those rockets—in this case 680—misfire and explode inside Gaza. The death and destruction caused is, of course, usually blamed on Israel. The question addressed here is how many Palestinians are likely to have been killed by these errant Palestinian rockets in May. The estimate arrived at is 91, amounting to 36% of the alleged Palestinian death toll.

#4  most of the rockets that fell in Gaza were probably the low tech improvised type that carry almost no explosives

this may explain the relatively low fatalities in Gaza (assuming the numbers are correct)

#3  About 700, 20% of the total rockets fired, fell on Gaza. That only 90 people were killed by that is a testament to how ineffective those rockets are.

#2  Well that makes these rockets far more effective at killing Gazans than killing Israelis.
If a third of those killed all together were members of Hamas or other militant organizations, this would mean that Hamas et al. killed as many Gaza civilians as the Israeis did.

They must be proud of themselves.
