1. Victim totals (civilians and terrorists) provided by Gaza's Ministry of Health (run by Hamas) is very likely correct considering that in 2008, 2014 and 2021 wars, the Ministry's numbers were confirmed by UN and even Israel with an accuracy of 90+%.
2. The difference between civilians and terrorists can't be easily made, but it's easy to verify that 40% of 11,300+ victims are children.
3. As to how many Gazans were killed by Hamas rockets, we can estimate 200-300 if we extrapolate using 2021 estimates when 4360 rockets were launched at Israel, 680 landed in Gaza and ~91 Palestinians died. Hamas launched ~10,000 rockets since Oct 7.
4. We can actually estimate how many terrorists were killed by bombs: ~2000. Extrapolation: half of Gaza population are children and 4650 children out of 11300 total deaths means that double of 4650 (i.e. 9300) are collateral victims, thus the remaining 2000 victims are not collateral, thus terrorists.
