Airwars research cited in groundbreaking new investigation by The New York Times: “Israel loosened its rules to bomb Hamas fighters, killing many more civilians” nytimes.com/2024/12/26/wor…

In one month of the #Gaza war the IDF killed as many children as were killed in #Syria in the deadliest year mostly by belligerents no one argues comply with #IHL. Indispensable comparative work by @airwars.bsky.social

Airwars on the first 25 days of Gaza “By almost every metric, the harm to civilians from the first month of the Israeli campaign in Gaza is incomparable with any 21st century air campaign. It is by far the most intense, destructive, and fatal conflict for civilians that Airwars has ever documented.”

Airwars (@airwars.bsky.social) says Gaza war 'most fatal conflict for civilians' it documented www.al-monitor.com/originals/20...

The percentage of known fatalities that are children (36%) in Gaza compared to other recent air campaigns and the number of incidents were more than 32 children were killed (5) are among the of the eye-popping stats from @airwars.bsky.social latest report gaza-patterns-harm.airwars.org

NEW: How does the scale of harm in Gaza compare to other conflicts? Our new report presents a unique analysis of where and how thousands of civilians were killed in the first 25 days in Gaza - and how these patterns are unprecedented in modern warfare. gaza-patterns-harm.airwars.org
