not sure of the metrics used, but when they state such nonsense as "residents only" knowing full well that residencies were used to hide weapons, the study becomes flawed.Mostly civilians’: Probe into Gaza homes strikes finds 60% of deaths non-militants
An investigation carried out by AP has stated that 508 of 844 victims in air strikes on residential buildings during Israel’s Operation Protective Edge that unfolded previous summer in Gaza were women, children and elderly people.
The agency studied 247 attacks that targeted residential buildings only – out of about 5,000 strikes conducted by the Israeli forces. Under the rules of war, civilian homes cannot be used as targets for air strikes.
The probe concluded that about 10 percent, or 96, of those killed in the strikes were confirmed or suspected militants. A further 240 dead were males between 16 and 59 years old, whose names weren’t linked to any armed groups.

If this is not criminal I don't know what is, its not self protection , so please do not insult us.
If the numbers are accurate, I have to say that it is criminal and every member of the Palestinian organization should be charged and put on trial.
Civilian deaths are a result of the cowardice of the Palestinian men who hide behind the cribs of children and the skirts of women.
