    How can Israel be so precise and effective when they attack Lebanon, but in Gaza they have to kill mostly civilians to get to Hamas

      It wasn’t precise. It was explosives in pagers and radios that went off in public and crowded places.

        Have you seen the videos of said explosions in crowded places? Single people drop and the people around them seem more or less unaffected.

            So as he said: very precise

            When they crushed IS in Raqqa it was about 1,5 civilians for each IS bro

              I really don’t think you understand what “precise” means.

              It means only killing the people you intended to kill.

                You’re thinking about ‘100% precise’

                War is never 100% precise. Hezbollah themselves cause 0.7 civilian casualties for every IDF/Israeli police they manage to kill in this conflict

                    You don’t go inside Lebanon and assassinate thousands of militants, that’s just an impossible expectation

                    Maybe in your magical fairy world you can, but in the real world 2 dead kids from 3.000 strikes would be considered very precise

          Do you think that you get injured like that and immediately just plop on the ground? That’s not how it works.

      Ends don’t justify means, indiscriminate attacks risking civilian lives is a war crime by international law. Simultaneously exploding thousands of pagers where you have no way of assuring who possesses the pagers and where it explodes is indiscriminate as explained by many experts on the topic. Wishful thinking does not change anything.

      You’ll have your answer as soon as Hamas places an order for a few thousand pagers
