About 72 per cent of fatalities aged 13-55 are men, which is the rough age range of Hamas combatants, Mr Fox said. “We know that Hamas uses child soldiers, and these statistics show clearly that Israel is targeting fighting-aged men.”
I like the way the starting point for this propaganda piece is to exclude some children altogether then justify the execution of other children because they are theoretically old enough to fight. Truly magnificent.

The absence of “independent” figures being used to justify silencing reporting on the figures is a close second.
