IDF forces have found a Hamas-written manual that explains how civilians can be used to fight IDF forces.
The manual, titled “Urban Warfare,” belonged to the Shuja’iya Brigade of Hamas’ military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, and discloses that Hamas understands the IDF will do everything they can to avoid civilian casualties according to the IDF website.
In a portion entitled “Limiting the Use of Weapons,” the manual states, “The soldiers and commanders (of the IDF) must limit their use of weapons and tactics that lead to the harm and unnecessary loss of people and [destruction of] civilian facilities. It is difficult for them to get the most use out of their firearms, especially of supporting fire [e.g. artillery].”
The manual also talks about the positive outcome for Hamas when civilian houses and neighborhoods are destroyed, writing, “The destruction of civilian homes: This increases the hatred of the citizens towards the attackers [the IDF] and increases their gathering [support] around the city defenders (resistance forces[i.e. Hamas]).”
The IDF fought a major battle in the neighborhood of Shuja’iya, which had been turned into a terrorist stronghold. The discovery of this manual suggests that the destruction in Shuja’iya was always part of Hamas’ plan.
your so right
We have to realize that we are not in Eretz Yisroel’s shoes. Our sons and daughters are not being killed in war. Though, I do think yall have a VERY valid point.
Yes, no other army would be that stupid.
We lost our Kedoshim – the Israeli people overwhelming wants us to finish the job— CAN’T THEY SEE HASHEM IS FIGHTING OUR BATTLES – it has to come through natural channels like the Iron dome – FINISH THIS PLEASE THE JEWISH PEOPLE CANNOT TAKE ANYMORE!
Hamaa started this war!! Israel wants peace!!
Hamas is to blame all the deaths in gaza. No other army will go to such great lengths as Israel did to prevent casualties, with all the warnings. Israel even risked their own soldiers lives by warning civilians, ( bc the terrorists yemach shemo git the warnings too)
BLOW THEM (HAMAS AND CIVILIANS) INTO THE WATER
ENOUGH AD MOSAY
Israel has not done what it can. It can openly declare that we are fighting for this land because it was given to us by HASHEM. This will change everything.
Once you start an operation (surgery) it doesn’t make sense to stop in middle, i.e. as soon as one sees the first few drops of blood they chicken out! You finish the whole operation! Here, too, the Rebbe says just finish the job…
Let Hashem sort it out. Israel has done what it can. You cannot propose mass indiscriminate killing (murder).
When will Israel wake up and smell the roses. just kill out those stupid arabs either they are hamas or they support with their bodies. forget about the media. just get it over with. the media will forget about it anyways after some time.
Unfortunately they are backing down under pressure, under losses of life. It’s understandable but intolerable. Any partial victory that doesn’t stay it’s course is like not taking the full course of antibiotics- worse than not having started at all. The worst of it is the confidence that this will generate in the enemy and all our enemies.
Please col, post a link so people can post this everywhere
