[QUOTE="wing2000, post: 77445263, member: 314005"] While I remain skeptical of any casualty figure in a time of war, it's only logical that many thousands will die when, as of Nov 1st, the IDF announced it had dropped [U]10,000 munitiions[/U] on Gaza, a heavily populated area that is just 1/3 the size of the L.A. Metro area. IMO, your 3,300 number is simply not logical. [I] The Israeli defense ministry said it had dropped at least 10,000 munitions as of Nov. 1, in three and a half weeks of war. By contrast, the U.S. military dropped about 2,000 to 3,000 munitions per month during the most intense combat operations against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria from 2015 to 2017, according to a [URL='https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/RRA300/RRA388-1/RAND_RRA388-1.pdf']report by the RAND Corporation[/URL].
