    Would be interesting to see the statistics, if someone has calculated them. I wonder if reservists count as combatants or noncombatants. Would skew the numbers a lot

      Well, the vast vast majority of Hamas fighters are what a regular military would classify as “reservists.” Hamas are mostly part-time fighters who otherwise have regular civilian jobs and live regular civilian lives. (Or at least they did before the Gaza strip was blown to rubble.)

        Hamas is an irregular force, not sure they have what are traditionally understood as reservists
