The ratio of wounded to killed in war is at least double and possibly as high as 13 times
It has been repeated endlessly that 260 young Israelis were killed at the open air music festival Bono refers to by Hamas. In any shooting incident, the ratio of numbers wounded to those killed will obviously depend on the circumstances - incapacitated victims in a confined space may result in little or no wounded - but generally many more people are wounded than killed. So, a large number of those attending the festival should have been wounded, be in hospital and be capable of being interviewed. I've no doubt some Israelis died as a result of Hamas' attacks but I suspect the numbers have been inflated. There's no independent verification going on and few in western MSM trying to establish the truth.
