Be respectful.

There is bound to be disagreement on a site about misinformation. Assume best intentions on everyone's part.

If you are new to factchecking, take some time to learn about it. "How to Factcheck" has some resources for getting started. Even if you disagree with these materials, they'll help you understand the language of this community better.

News Detective is for uncovering misinformation and rumors. This is not a general interest question-answer site for things someone could Google.

Posting

The title is the "main claim" that you're trying to factcheck.

Example:
Factcheck This: Birds don't exist

If possible, LINK TO to the place you saw the claim.

Answering

LINK TO YOUR EVIDENCE or otherwise explain the source ("I called this person, I found it in this book, etc.")

But don't just drop a link. Give an explanation, copy and paste the relevant information, etc.

So, as of now it is not completely clear, however, in may, Netanyahu claimed in a interview with former US Advisor Dan Senor that out of the 30,000 casualties at the time, 14,000 were combatants and 16,000 were civilians. (https://time.com/6979208/israel-gaza-death-toll/) Now, it may be different now, but I see this claim of 80% as being likely misinformation. Also, I have not found this claim repeated anywhere besides Israeli news sources, which have the potential to be heavily biased.
