IDF: 600 Hamas Men Died in Gaza Offensive

[Ha'aretz] Amos Harel - More than 600 of the Palestinians killed during Operation Cast Lead in Gaza have been identified as militants, while 309 were civilians, according to an updated list of Palestinian losses issued by the Israel Defense Forces. Another 320 are described as "unaffiliated," which means the IDF has not yet determined whether they have any affiliation with a militant group. Finally, 14 fatalities were members of Fatah whom Hamas executed during the fighting. The fatality list presented by the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza has numerous inaccuracies and contradictions, the IDF says. For example, Tawfiq Ja'abari, the commander of the Hamas police, and Mohammed Shakshak, a personal assistant to the head of Hamas' military wing, Ahmed Ja'abari, are both described as dead children on the Palestinian list.
