      Hamas sets up military operations in a civilian building by force - the civilians have no say in this and get killed if they protest Hamas then uses that building to launch rockets, store ammunition, communication stations How the fuck should Israel proceed to neutralize those sites? Because what they do is:

      “Roof knocking”: Hitting the building’s roof with a small explosive to announce that it will fall in 15 minutes (see video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teevWpXlRZY example from yesterday) Automatic SMS and phone calls impacted areas warning and urging to evacuate Precision strikes that make the building fall vertically with minimal damage to the areas As a result, civilians (and potentially military personnel) are given a chance to evacuate while ammunition stashes, rocket launching stations etc stay in the building and are destroyed.

      To be honest, I’m shocked those protocols are still used after Hamas’s attack. I would absolutely not be surprised of these measures stopped.

      The anti-Israel don’t care that Israel is bending over backwards to minimize human suffering while fighting a decades long war against people who are deliberately trying to kill their children.

      Remember how upset they are when Israel does something 100 percent defensive, like build a security fence to keep out an endless stream of suicide bombers?

      This isn’t good-faith criticism.

      These people hate Israel for this that they works be applauding other countries for. And we all know why

        “They’re wrecking homes and destroying infrastructure, but at least they’re nice about it!”

        Israel is in the wrong because they’re settler colonialists who stole the land from Palestinians. There is no defensive acts, continued occupation and protection of their occupation is an offensive act.

        How the fuck should Israel proceed to neutralize those sites?

        Send in ground forces that can separate fighters from civilians in a way that leveling a building and killing everyone inside cannot.

        Hitting the building’s roof with a small explosive to announce that it will fall in 15 minutes

        So saying “attention, we will destroy your home, all your possessions, and your livelihood in 15 minutes”, before doing exactly that to Innocent people makes them the good guys? I don’t think so.

        Update
        It looks like they don’t even knock any more.
