    The cynic in me thinks the IDF would not use $3000 in munitions to kill four random guys. Bullets are dirt cheap fpv bomb drones are expensive. From that I can only assume someone really wanted to kill one of them for some reason that we can not determine from the limited footage. I’m not saying war crimes including intentional starvation and indiscriminate fire are not happening but I don’t think this is one of them this looks far too coordinated and planned to be a random act of aggression.

      This isn’t the first or even new example, it’s been happening for years. Even to the point where Hamas and other militant groups claimed that the IDF was poor at infantry fighting which is why they overly rely on vehicles and standoff weapons.

      I think it’s just that because Israel is doing a large scale offensive, the fog of “they were Hamas” doesn’t fly anymore so its much more reportable in the media, along with an increase of examples.
