Let’s look at the dataset provided by Daniel (sourced as Aid Worker Security Database)

Only four of the claimed 161 aid worker deaths are listed as "verified".

Only one aid workers deaths is ascribed to motives other then Disputed, Incidental, or unknown

None of the aid workers are named, making it impossible to determine if the dead are pro Hamas terrorists/sympathizers or non-partisans aid workers motivated by purely humanitarian concerns.

Only seven of the incidents are described as other than combat/crossfire or unknown. Tragic certainly but combat/crossfire and unknown proves nothing other than wrong place/wrong time during active combat operations. Certainly not proof of intentional IDF targeting

In conclusion, the 161 aid workers killed number is quite soft and quite plausibly influenced by Hamas operatives.

Daniels art is first rate but factual accuracy has never been his main motivation.

I am open to datasets that provide better/more info on the victims.
