Defense experts who've reviewed debris images from an Israeli airstrike that ignited a deadly fire in a camp for displaced Palestinians question why Israel didn't use smaller, more precise weapons when so many civilians were nearby.

    Yes but that would conflict Israel’s current standing orders of the extermination of all Palestinians.

      Oh wait it’s not genocide because it doesn’t fit their definition! As if ethnic cleansing is any better than genocide.

    Kirby: “The Israelis have said they used 37-pound bombs… a 37-pound bomb is not a big bomb…”

      Israel said = israel lied

      Images posted on social media from the tent camp on Monday and verified by The Associated Press showed a CAGE code, a unique identifier assigned to U.S. government suppliers, on pieces of the exploded weapons.

      Based on those images and satellite photos of the debris field, two defense experts said the bombs used were likely U.S.-made 250-pound (113-kilogram) GBU-39 small-diameter bombs.
