See also the UN OCHA report that records the 2,220 victims (67% of them civilians) of Israel's
summer 2014 massacre in Gaza. 71 Israelis were killed during the same period (9% of them
civilians).
The numbers in this chart include civilians and combatants killed by members of the opposing
nationality (and therefore, do not include Palestinians killed by an explosive device that they set or
