With 60-70 Hamas fighters confirmed dead. I am struggling to think of any military action in history whose victims were over 99% civilian. Even the powers they wrote the Geneva conventions over weren't this ruthless in their pursuit of killing almost exclusively innocent people.

What your source for 60-70? All other sources I seen say much more
At least 1000 Hamas terrorist were killed inside of Israel (Those who infiltered at 7th of October) according to the same (Pro-Palestinian biased) source that the OP used

You're right about the events of 10/7. 60-70 is from since the bombing campaign began. The fog of war keeps things hard to find so I couldn't find a recording, but here is at least a news report.

slain 60-odd senior and mid-level Hamas leaders

Seems like a lot to me, and it doesn't mention the amount of regular (low level) fighters

Exactly. That's the only mention of any Hamas fighters killed by the bombing campaign I've heard of in a month. Ibwould think the IDF would be more proactive announcing any success they've had which they can confirm. It's just been explaining their suspicions after they bomb a hospital or refugee camp without confirming if their suspicions were correct in most cases.
