Add https://airwars.org/

Add https:://airwars.org to the tool's URL search list.

Brief

The website has an incidents archive that can be searched and filtered by:

Belligerent
Country
start date
end date
Civilian Harm Status
Belligerent Assessment
Declassified Documents
Infrastructure
text search

The search functionality uses the previous filters and displays all incidents that match them.

A search query can be constructed by setting setting the following search filters in the URL

filter	URL filter	Value
Belligerent	belligerent	israeli-military
Country	country	the-gaza-strip
Start date	start_date	2023-10-07
Search	search	{name}

name must be URL encoded and spaces can be replaced by dashes -

Names can be looked up using the following pattern: https://airwars.org/civilian-casualties/?belligerent=israeli-military&start_data=2023-10-07&country=the-gaza-strip&search={name}

Strategy

construct the search query using the search query template
grab the result page
search the page source for the name

@smashah has already done this, but I added it to complete the URL search list.
