Israel ordered people out of swathes of the main southern city in the Gaza Strip on Monday (December 4) as it pressed its ground campaign deep into the south, sending desperate residents fleeing even as it dropped bombs on areas where it told them to go. Lucy Fielder has more.
Some anonymous sources in articles I’ve read say there is an acceptable number of acceptable civilian casualties per Hamas target that is set by IDF, and this figure went up significantly after the last attack on Israel.
Surely they wouldn’t kill all those kids if they knew they existed. That would make the IDF genocidal terrorists!
Killing of children as collateral damage is terrible, but it does not a genocide make.
The coward IDF should dare to go in with rifles and risk their lives like Hamas did on oct7.
That sounds like a terrible strategy that would only serve to help their opponents, for the purpose of what, risking their lives to not be, “cowards,” in your eyes? If Hamas had air strike capabilities I suspect they would use them on civilians with no hesitation and far less restraint. Their stated goal is genocide, after all, while Israel vehemently denies that they are committing one or intend to commit one.
Did you watch that video? It says that an 8-year-old was killed in a shootout with militants during a raid. Not exactly the same as, “intentionally shooting and killing little children.” Collateral damage. Why are you misrepresenting this clip?

Here’s a video of the IDF intentionally shooting and killing little children with rifles. Can’t find one of Hamas doing this. Wonder why.

An 8 year old was killed as the IDF drove away and shot unarmed kids. There was no “shoot out” taking place.
