48% of Gaza War Casualties Associated with Terror Groups – Intel Report (Yonah Jeremy, Jerusalem Post)
At least 48% of the Palestinians killed during the May 10-21 Gaza conflict were associated with terrorist groups, the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center reported Tuesday. In a copy of the report first obtained by The Jerusalem Post, the intelligence center broke down the more than 200 Palestinians killed according to their affiliation with terrorist groups, identified those killed by Palestinian misfires and listed civilian deaths. The center is viewed as one of the most serious think tanks in Israel since it is staffed with former high-ranking officers and officials from Israel’s three intelligence services. Though it also sometimes receives classified information from the intelligence services, it is not formally connected to the government or the IDF and reaches its conclusions independently without coordination with official bodies. In the report, the center recognized that there are different estimates about the number of dead Palestinians, ranging between 240 and 260, and it used the number 234. According to the report, some 112 of the 234 were associated with Hamas, Islamic Jihad or another terrorist group. Breaking down the 112, there were 63 associated with Hamas, 20 with Islamic Jihad, 25 with a terrorist wing of Fatah and a few others with smaller splinter groups.”
