    Preliminary, partial examination of thenames of Palestinians kil led in OperationProtective Edge and analysis of the ratio

    between terrorist operatives and non-involved civilians killed in error (full version)

    Main Findings1. Below are the findings of a preliminary, partial list of Palestinians killed in

    Operation Protective Edge.1The goal is to ascertain the identity of terrorist operatives

    and non-involved citizens, and to examine the ratio between them.

    2. We have examined the first 150 namesof Palestinians killed between July 7 and

    July 12, 2014, which appeared on the list of those killed issued by the Palestinian

    Health Ministry in Gaza(see Appendix C). To this list the ITIC added the names of

    six terrorist operatives who were killed on those dates but were not included on the

    Health Ministrys list, or who were killed and whose names were added later.

    1 Hamas calls Operation Protective Edge Al-Asf al-Makul- the Eaten Chaff Campaign. This is a termfrom the Quran (Surat al-Fil, Verse 5). Asf is the grain that remains after the harvest, which the windblows, chaff that is used as fodder for sheep and cattle. Al-Asf al-Makulis the chaff that the animal eats

    and crushes in its mouth. In the context of the verse from the Quran, it is Allah who dealt a severe blow tothe enemies who fought against the residents of Mecca in the year of the Prophet Muhammads birth, andfiguratively crushed them into crumbs. The image is that this campaign will crush Israel.

    Conversely, we removed the names of three dead, whose identity is still unknown,

    and the name of a terrorist operative who, it turned out, was wounded and whose

    name appeared on the mortality list by mistake.

    3. Out of the names of 152 individuals who were killed, that were examined by the

    ITIC, 71 were identified as terror operatives and 81 as non-involved civilians.

    The percentage of terrorist operatives among all those examined is 46.7%, while the

    percentage of non-involved citizens is 53.3%. This ratio may vary as the ITIC

    continues to examine the names of those killed in Operation Protective Edge.

    Methodological Notes4. In its study, the ITIC examined 150 names of the first individuals who were killed,

    which appeared on the lists issued by the Palestinian Health Ministry in the Gaza

    Strip. These lists include the names of Palestinians killed between July 7, 2014, the

    day that the Palestinians consider to be the day that the operation began, and July

    12, 2014. This is only a preliminary, partial list with regard to the number of those

    killed, as according to reports issued by the Health Ministry, the Palestinian death toll

    has now reached 1,035 (on the morning of July 28, 2014).2

    5. The analysis of the first 150 names again ind icated a number of deficiencieson

    the list issued by the Health Ministry, the likes of which we also encountered afterOperation Pillar of Defense.3It is our impression that the list published by the Health

    Ministry was prepared hastily, and corrections appeared on lists published later. The

    details about those killed are incomplete (which makes them difficult to identify) and

    we suspect that they include duplicate names and/or names of civilians who were not

    necessarily killed by the IDF. Moreover, the list does not distinguish between non-

    involved civilians and terrorist operatives, and refers to all those killed as shahids

    (martyrs).

    6. These deficiencies, in our opinion, are not accidental but are part of Hamass

    policy of concealment and deception (see below), shared by the Hamas-controlled

    Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip. Hamass policy is designed to create an image of

    a large number of civilians who were killed , to strengthen the image that Israel is

    carrying out a massacre of civilians and to create an ostensibly factual infrastructure

    for a political, propaganda and legal campaign against Israel during Operation

    2 The figure is taken from the Twitter page of Dr. Ashraf al-Qudra, spokesman for the Palestinian Health

    Ministry in the Gaza Strip.3 See the ITIC Information Bulletin from December 16, 2012: Analysis of the Ratio between the Names ofTerrorist Operatives Killed during Operation Pillar of Defense and Civilians Killed in Error.

    Protective Edge and on the day after. However, despite the deficiencies, these

    reports by the Health Ministry are the only systematic source of information regarding

    the names of the dead, so we had to rely on it.

    7. In order to cope with the fundamental deficiencies, we examined each of the 150names of the first casualties appearing on the Health Ministrys list on an individual

    basis. The ITICs analysis of the names is based on a variety of information, sourced

    primarily from social networks and websites of various organizations, especially

    Hamas and PIJ.We also used information from other media outlets, both Palestinian

    and Arab. In order to complement or validate some of the names, we used

    information originating from Israeli security sources.

    Details of the Findings8. Based on our analysis of the first 150 names on the Health Ministrys list, we

    reached the following findings:

    A. We identified 66 names of Palestinians killed as terrorist operatives (for

    details about them see table in Appendix A). In addition, we identified six

    terrorist operatives killed during the period that the Health Ministrys list refers

    to. Four of them do not appear on the list and two others appeared on later lists.

    Another terrorist operative turned out to be injured and not killed.Hence the total

    number of terror ist operatives is 71.

    B. Of the 71 names of terrorist operatives that we identified, we found 38 photos

    of operatives i.e., more than half of the dead operatives who were identified

    (for photos of operatives, seeAppendix B).

    C. We identif ied 81 names as non-involved civi lians.

    D. Three names of dead Palestinians have not yet been identified. It is not yet

    possible to determine whether they were terrorist operatives or non-involved

    civilians.

    9. Below is a breakdown of 71 terrorist operatives identified by the ITIC, by

    organizational affiliation:

    A. 35Hamas/ Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades operatives

    B. 21PIJ / Al-Quds Battalions operatives

    124-14

    C. Six operatives of Fatah terrorist networks (Abu al-Rish Battalions; Abd al-

    Qader al-Husseini Battalions)

    D. Four members of an independent terrorist network called Al-Mujahedin

    Battalions4

    E. Three operatives affiliated with the Salafist-jihadis (two members of a

    network named Saif al-Islam Battalions5and an extremist Salafist preacher).

    F. One PFLPmilitary operative.

    G. One military operative of a terrorist network by the name ofAl -Ahrar .6

    10. In our assessment, the interim findings of the segmentation of names of the

    dead reflect the relative weight of the various terrorist organizations involved in the

    fighting: the figures illustrate the centrality of Hamas in the fighting and the

    important role played by the PIJ. Special attention should also be paid to the relatively

    large number of terrorist operatives belonging to networks based on former

    Fatah operatives and on operatives from a terrorist network by the name of Al-

    Mujahedin Battalions. The number of operatives from other terrorist groups is small

    and, in our assessment, this also reflects their minor military importance.

    Dual Identity11. The names that we examined included those of six terrorist operatives with a

    dual identity, i.e., those serving concurrently in terrorist organizations and in the

    Palestinian security forces in the Gaza Strip. All six who were identified were

    operatives in Hamass Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades.Three of them also served in

    the national security forces of the Palestinian Interior Ministry in the Gaza Strip

    and three of them served in the Palestinian police.After their deaths, dual death

    notices were published by the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades and by the police,

    Interior Ministry and security forces.

    12. Dual identity of terroris t operatives, especially in Hamas, is widespread and

    is well known to us from Operation Cast Lead and Operation Pillar of Defense.

    Dual identity allows Hamas to employ many military operatives in the security forces,

    4 Al-Mujahedin Battal ions - an independent terrorist network in the Gaza Strip, based on former Fatahoperatives, now radical Islamist.5 Saif al-Islam Battalions -a Salafist-jihadi network in the Gaza Strip, which is a secessionist faction of

    Fatahs Abu Rish Battalions.6 Al-Ahrar movement - a terrorist network in the Gaza Strip, established in 2007 and based on Fatahoperatives, now affiliated with Hamas.

    Hamass policy of concealment and deception

    13. In our analysis of the identity of the Palestinians killed, we encountered

    many difficultiesarising from the policy of concealment and deception of Hamas

    and the government ministries controlled by it (the Health Ministry, the Interior

    Ministry). In the present conflict, as during previous operations, Hamas and these

    ministries are again refraining from publishing reliable figures about terrorist

    operatives killed, with the intention of not harming the image of their victory. At the

    same time, Hamas seeks to increase the number of civilian dead in an effort to

    disparage Israel and to apply propagandist political and legal pressure on it

    during the fighting and on the day after. Palestinian human rights organizations

    based in the Gaza Strip, mainly PCHR and the Al-Mezan Center, which played an

    important role in conveying false information to the Goldstone Commission, are an

    integral part of this policy and are preparing for legal and propaganda

    campaigns against Israel after the operation.

    14. Hamass policy of concealment of is manifested, inter alia, in refraining from

    publishing complete, detailed and systematic information on the names of the

    organizations terrorist operatives killed in Operation Protective Edge. It also appears

    that Hamas refrains from providing the Palestinian Health Ministry with information

    about some operatives who were killed. This is done with the goal of helping to createthe image that civilians are getting killed in the Gaza Strip, not terrorist operatives. For

    instance, guidelines for social networking activists in the Gaza Strip, published by the

    Hamas-controlled Interior Ministrya few days after the start of Operation Protective

    Edge, state, among other things, that every Palestinian killed should be described as

    an innocent citizen (these two words appeared in English in the Arabic-language

    guidelines). It also states that the number of fatalities among women and children

    should be emphasized (YouTube video, July 10, 2014).

    The problem with assessments from UN sources andhuman rights organizations about the ratio of civilians

    killed

    15. According to data published by UN and human rights organizations, the ratio ofcivilians among the fatalities in Operation Protective Edge is between 70% and 80%.8

    16. We believe these figures are not reliable, and that the ratio of civilian fatalities

    is significantly biased upward in order to defame Israel.This is because these

    figures are not based on a detailed analysis of the names of the Palestinians killed

    but rather on manipulative and biased information, originating from Hamas, Hamass

    ministries operating in the Gaza Strip, and human rights organizations based in the

    Gaza Strip that serve the Hamas propaganda network.9Our initial findings and the

    lessons learned from our analysis of the names of those killed during Operation Cast

    Lead10may support this assessment.

    Appendices17. This document includes three appendices:

    1) Appendix A:Table presenting the findings of the analysis of the list of the first

    150 names of those killed in Operation Protective Edge, based on the Palestinian

    Health Ministrys list.

    2) Appendix B: Photos of 38 terrorist operatives out of 71 operatives who

    appear on the Health Ministrys list.

    3) Appendix C: List of the first 150 names published by the Palestinian Health

    Ministry.

    8 In her speech at the Supreme Council for Human Rights in Geneva, United Nations High Commissionerfor Human Rights Navi Pillay noted that according to UN figures, about 74% of those killed during theoperation were civilians.9

    The most prominent of these organizations is the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR)

    operating in the Gaza Strip, which played an important role in conveying false and misleading informationto the Goldstone Commission and is extremely active in the lawfare campaign being waged against Israelaround the world.

    10The findings of the study carried out by Israels defense establishment after Operation Cast Lead

    showed that at least 60% of all those killed in the operation were operatives in the military and securityforces of Hamas and other terrorist organizations. Conversely, data supplied by Palestinian human rightsorganizations, whose findings were adopted by the report in practice, stated that only 20% of those killed

    were combatants (i.e., terrorist operatives). For a detailed analysis on this issue, see the documentpublished by the ITIC on March 10, 2010: Hamas and the Terrorist Threat from the Gaza Strip. The MainFindings of the Goldstone Report Versus the Factual Findings, Part Two.
