Hamas affirmed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claim that the ratio of civilian to combatant deaths in Gaza is one-to-one is a lie and an erosion of global public opinion.
Tehran -ISNA- In a statement, the Resistance movement stressed that the allegations are a continuation of the blatant deception that seeks to cover up the war crimes and genocide committed by the occupation army that are unprecedented in modern history.
The movement mentioned the daily reports published by the Health Ministry in Gaza and other documentation that prove that the vast majority of victims in the Gaza Strip were civilians, especially women and children, who were killed in reckless Israeli bombardments on their homes, hospitals, shelters, and more locations the occupation claimed were safe zones.
This comes after Netanyahu claimed, in a televised interview, that the ratio of civilian deaths in Gaza was one-to-one to that of Resistance fighters, which was the "minimum" in modern wars.
Israel might have violated fundamental principles in the laws of war and failed to identify Palestinian civilians from Resistance fighters several times throughout the war in Gaza, the United Nations' Human Rights Office stated on Wednesday.
