Numbers shared from the Gaza (or Palestinian) side include:

For example: “In northern Gaza, a father lifted the body of his 4-year-old during a funeral Monday for five children from the same family killed in an Israeli missile strike.”
Moreover, it is noted by some media sources: “On Monday, the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA, confirmed that at least 51 innocent civilians have been killed by Israeli air strikes since the airstrikes began on Saturday, purportedly to root out armed groups that have been firing barrages of rockets toward southern Israeli targets. Since Saturday, two Israelis have been killed and about 20 others are injured from projectile attacks.
Finally, more statistics include this important data—not noted much in Israeli and USA press--:“Gaza is the most densely populated place on the planet, with nearly 1.5 million Palestinians contained to a 20 square meter strip on the Mediterranean coast. Palestinians living in Gaza have been without food, electricity or water in their homes for several weeks.”
Numbers, Numbers, Numbers everywhere!
Some reports are that the new barrier walls in Israel already approach (or soon will reach) over 681 kilometers.

Concentration camp fences in Europe were never that big!!—Even those encircling West Berlin during the Communist-Fascist era of Erich Honnecker were less lengthy and shorter!
The Berlin Wall, which I climbed over on December 31, 1989, was only 155km.
One other website notes: “The average height of the Berlin Wall was 11.8 feet (3.6 metres), compared with the maximum* current height of Israel's Wall -- 25 feet (8 metres). [*it is not clear whether the shorter fence sections, about 6 meters in height, are first or final stages in Israel's construction of the barrier.]”
ELEMENTS AND NUMBERS
The elements that make up war are not only numbers of things but numbers of people in anger, who no longer have the heart to keep or make peace.
These are the elements that should be looked into—and Forthwith!!!!
Instead, we still have both Israeli and Palestinians concerned with tit-for-tat numbers.
Who shot how many missiles at whom?
