    No. That’s not killing “as many as possible”. That’s accepting civilians around the official to be killed. If anything it’s extremely targeted attack. Killing as many as possible would be carpet bombing the whole thing and calling it a day.

      Images after bombing, the area was essentially carpet bombed. There have been thousands of more bombs dropped since this article. The IDF wouldn’t function without western support. This is plausable deniability, they can kill substantial numbers of people and blame it on this system or ‘collateral damage’. They have to maintain an image at least somewhat. So they kill as many as they can get away with.

      The Israeli state has made it clear for years they don’t believe in the long-term existance of Palestine. This is part of their project to eliminate as many Palestinians as possible to more easily take territory.

      IDK slaying 100 civilians per target sounds like a fuckload of war crimes if you ask me.

      If they can track them then they can wait. This is the definition of a proportionate force war crime.
