Re: Civilian deaths from weapons used in the Syrian conflict

Useful article and the analysis is well done.
How does this compare with civilian deaths and especially children's deaths incurred in the Gaza massacres by Israel in 2008 and in 3012?
It is important for future study of massacre and torture that such comparisons are made.
