      In World War II at civilians constituted 60–67% of casualties,[5] but some sources give a higher estimate. In the Vietnam War, the civilian ratio is estimated at 46[6]–67%.[7] Two studies found civilian ratio was 40% in the Bosnian war.[4] During the Second Intifada, civilians constituted ~70% of Israelis killed by Palestinians and ~60% of Palestinians killed by Israelis.[8] Civilians constituted ~75% and ~65% of all Palestinians killed in the 2008 war and 2014 war, respectively. In the 2023–2025 war, civilians have constituted 68% of those killed by Hamas attacks,[9] and ~80% of those killed by the Israeli invasion.[10][11][12]
