    The human shield lie is dead. The majority of structures in Gaza have been bombed and rendered uninhabitable. Israel is just destroying everything indiscriminately and killing anything that moves outside the designated camps.

    Was Hamas using over half of all structures in Gaza as operating bases? Get real.

    It’s already known that Hamas uses tunnels, why would they even be in the buildings at this point? This is just a campaign of total destruction.

    Don’t spread genocide denial.

      you realize operating bases are probably in the tunnels right. They certainly aren’t above ground.

      This also ignores stationing for the militants, and potential hideouts, for things like… Bombs.

        They aren’t bombing the tunnels, they’re just blowing up hospitals and apartments and schools. The tunnels are unaffected.

            Well firstly, the point of the bombing campaign is to make Gaza uninhabitable. The tunnels are irrelevant to that.

            But more importantly, the tunnels are too deep to bomb and they don’t know where the tunnels even are. At best they can bomb tunnel entrances, the tunnels themselves require deep penetration to attack directly.

              there we go. Also im pretty sure israel has some knowledge on the tunnel layouts and design, i believe they even captured early war plans from the initial october 7th attack. But i dont know fuck shit about that, intelligence teams are fucking crazy.

                Don’t forget they’re constantly torturing Palestinians in the prisons to get them to reveal the locations of tunnels.

                  is this globally illegal? Russia has similar human rights violations, the US is one of very few places that has it culturally ingrained into law.

                  The middle east is also not generally known for having incredibly high tolerance for such things as human rights.

                    It’s a violation of international law.

                    But also? US law forbids giving military aid to nations that commit crimes against humanity, of which torture is recognized under international law.

                    The law doesn’t apply to Israel.

      Why would they still roof knock if they indiscriminately bomb everything?

        They stopped roof knocking as standard policy back in October. Try to keep up.

          Odd that I still see new videos of bombings all the time, from 10 different angles and crowds watching the buildings get hit… I wonder how they knew about the upcoming hit.

            Regarding the IDF’s attack policy in Gaza, the source clarifies that the “roof knocking” policy, whereby the IDF has previously used text messages, phone calls, or an initial strike on the roof to warn residents of a building that it is about to be struck, is not the system currently applying. In certain circumstances, it will be used, the source says, but today Israel is already evacuating masses of the [Gaza] populace from central terrorist areas and attacking there.

            Odd that you’re just ignoring the literally stated policy of Israel. Stop with your genocide denial. They’ve already told us what they are doing.

              They seem to have been wrong about roof knocking specifically (new term for me) but still informing people and evacuating civilians? Or attempting to?

                The entire strip is being bombed! They just force Palestinians to play musical chairs in fucking tents as they’re driven from one impromptu camp to the next. Anyone outside the camps is sniped.

                It’s all lies. Israel is just doing genocide.
