Israeli soldiers raiding a hospital in northern Gaza desecrated the bodies of deceased patients with bulldozers, let a military dog maul a man in a wheelchair, and shot multiple doctors even after vetting them, according to allegations by staffers and patients at Kamal Adwan hospital, where Israeli forces spent eight days last week.
What do you mean “isn’t that much greater”? The Haaretz study shows a civilian death rate of around 61%, whereas prior conflicts in Gaza had a civilian death rate of 33% to 40%, and the article says the 61% level is unprecedented. A 20%-30% increase is an insane number of additional dead.
I’d love to be so cynical as you, to see a 20% increase in civillian casualties in a region famous for collateral damage, and go “huh that’s not so much, nothing is happening”. Some people need to learn empathy.

50% to 60% is an increase of 20% which is pretty large.
It’s a 20% increase and 10% of the total, which is massive.
