B'Tselem, the "human rights" group which provides statistics regarding Arab casualties in Judea, Samaria and Gaza is a source of falsehoods and half-truths, according to former Military Intelligence officer, Lt-Col. (res.) Yehonatan Dachuch-Halevi.
Writing Sunday on the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs website, Dachuch-Halevi notes that B'Tselem's definition of what it means by terrorists who died while they "participated in the fighting" is very narrow and includes only those terrorists who were carrying out acts of war – that is, gunfire, rocket fire, fire bomb attacks, reconnaissance etc. – at the moment in which they were killed. Terror activists who were not on the front line when they were killed are not included. Neither are terrorists who were traveling by car from one place to another, who were engaged in support roles such as transporting weaponry and ammunition, and who were employed by the Hamas "government" in Gaza at the same time that they served in the Hamas terror branch.
