the claim

Flying through ordinary clouds does not damage commercial aircraft, though icing, hail and severe turbulence in thunderstorm clouds can.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that flying through ordinary clouds does not damage commercial aircraft, though icing, hail and severe turbulence in thunderstorm clouds can?

Unclear. One aviation Q&A states that cloud turbulence causes bumpiness but almost never damages aircraft, and a Wikipedia article notes thunderstorm hail and torrential rain can dent or strip paint. Neither source directly covers the full claim about ordinary clouds versus icing, hail and severe turbulence.
