Agreed. (disclaimer: I haven't looked at gazadeaths.com yet) Media organizations have been reporting numbers of strikes and rough numbers on interceptions/non-interceptions, but I don't have a specific source off-hand. One source is the IDF for some statistics on the Israeli side. A good source for statistics on the Palestinian side is probably the UNOCHA OPT report being released every day at 1500 EEST. The latest is at http://www.ochaopt.org/documents/ocha_opt_sitrep_15_07_2014.pdf (see root of site for index) and the filenames I believe have been consistent. The focus of that report is on humanitarian needs and response to needs, but includes the following counts in one table: - Total no. Killed - Min. no. of civilians killed - Min. no. of children killed - Total no. Injured - No. of children injured - No. of women injured - Total no. of Homes destroyed or damaged - Total no. of people Displaced that are hosted at UNRWA schools (number displaced to other locations estimated in the text) - Total no. of people at risk of losing Water Supply This report does briefly summarize the situation in Israel as well, but does not give names or numbers. It characterizes the Israeli situation in general such as in a paragraph that reads "Indiscriminate rocket firing by armed groups in Gaza at Israeli localities also continued during the past 24 hours, resulting in few Israeli injuries and some damage to property, as most projectiles fell in open areas or were intercepted by the Iron Dome system. While Palestinian rocket fire has so far not resulted in Israeli deaths, multiple reports about the launching of these rockets from densely populated areas have raised increasing concern. Such practice severely endangers the lives of Palestinian civilians residing in these areas, in addition to the Israeli civilians targeted." There are additional statistics throughout the report as well. Asa -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
