17. Who are the 500 adult males that PCHR is counting among civilians?
Edited on Wed Jan-21-09 11:11 AM by oberliner
That seems to be where the discrepancy lies between the IDF's numbers and these.

The PCHR identifies approximately 900 of those killed as civilians.

Of that number, the group says that approximately 300 are children and 100 are women.

That leaves about 500 adult males among those they are identifying as civilians.

I believe that the IDF identifies about the same number of women and children casualties, but only includes a very small fraction of those 500 adult males in their civilian casualty count.
