Original Note:
The claim that Israel has one of the highest civilian to combatant casualty ratios in modern warfare is false. The ratio has been estimated to be between 1.5:1 to 3:1. The UN has estimated that urban warfare has 90% civilian casualties with an estimated 9:1 ratio https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5YhoH-0c2yc https://mwi.westpoint.edu/urban-warfare-project-case-study-2-battle-of-mosul/ https://press.un.org/en/2022/sc14904.doc.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p1D1IqYflw&t=2923 https://www.iraqbodycount.org/analysis/numbers/2011/ https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/apr/18/israels-war-against-hamas-posts-lower-civilian-to-/ https://www.newsweek.com/israel-has-created-new-standard-urban-warfare-why-will-no-one-admit-it-opinion-1883286
