If there are 30,000 dead and the IDF estimates of around 15000 Hamas fighters are dead, wiping out whole Hamas brigades- then that is a 1:1 civilian to combatant ratio. That is unheard of in warfare anywhere, an incredibly LOW number of civilian casualties ESPECIALLY in an urban environment. No other army could achieve that.

If not a single Hamas fighter has died and there is 30,000 deaths when the northern part of Gaza is just about flattened , and large parts of the south are under IDF control- this is also an achievement for minimal casualties in a population of 2 million in a supposedly one of the most densely populated places on Earth.

In either case, it shows a remarkable lack of civilians deaths that no other army could achieve, and thus, can't be described as indiscriminate.
