PCHR issued a report supposedly documenting the status of the casualties in Gaza. The organization claims that 960 of the dead were civilians yet the group classifies arch-terrorist Nizar Rayan as a civilian as well as many members of the Qassam rocket brigades.  Groups such as CAMERA have debunked many more of the statistics.

The Jerusalem Post reported that, “IDF estimates are that two-thirds of all those killed were gunmen affiliated with Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other Palestinian terror factions.”
