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
