Remove the "80% of the those killed in Israeli invasion are civilians." It cites an obscure, partisan source that is 1) very outdated; 2) generates its figures using a really flawed extrapolation method to artificially inflate the civilian share. It has no literal basis in fact at all.2603:7000:9AF0:7370:C0BB:861:DE3D:C6D7 (talk)17:40, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Change absolute claim that "90% of combat deaths are civilian is a myth" to "90% of combat deaths are civilian is contested by individuals within the British Academy"
No one can truly know an accurate number of civilian deaths, so to outright state it is a myth based on a single source of a single individual (Adam Roberts) is disingenuous. There is only a single source in the page claiming it is a myth, whereas there are two stated sources claiming otherwise, as such it is possible more evidence suggests it is not so inaccurate.
Furthermore the page states there are only two sources that state 90% of combat deaths are civilian, however there is also the European Union’s European Security Strategy which states it, which is adopted by the European Council, as such should be considered a significant source of information not listed in the page.2A02:14F:179:33DB:0:0:1399:6158 (talk)05:46, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Done Well, sort of anyway. I added the contested by the British Academy part, so I might mark this as
