Israeli commanders must make 'tough decisions' tackling Hamas bases in hospitals, schools: John Kirby
Fox News
Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council John Kirby said Israeli commanders are forced to make a "touch choice" choosing the targets of military strikes.
Asked if the U.S. is generating accurate statistics on casualties, Kirby said the U.S. government "can't independently verify some of these numbers going on [regarding] casualties."

"We are not measuring, analyzing, independently assessing – these are Israeli operations," Kirby said, though affirming that the U.S. does have "some sense" of the situation independent of Israeli statistics. "I don't want to make too much of a comparison here, but we don't do that for Ukraine either."
