Last year, the IDF set out on a mission to stop Hamas aggression against Israeli civilians.
One of their major challenges was that Hamas’ chose to embed its vast terror network deep within Gaza’s civilian population. The terror organization hid weapons in schools and mosques, fired rockets from hospitals and dug terror tunnels under homes.
When a weapons storage facility or launching pad must be targeted, but suddenly civilians appear in the area, you are faced with a serious dilemma, IDF says. If you fire at the target, you may harm civilians nearby. If you don’t, you may be leaving Israeli civilians at risk.
Today, one year after Operation Protective Edge, the IDF challenges you to face these scenarios and decide for yourself. Do you continue or abort?
The concept does not exist by Hamas. We have full legitimacy. U think the Americans checked for covilians in WW2??????
Until the terrorists stop teaching their children to die as martyrs, they will try to kill us unless we stop them first.
Kaboom!
Is it worth it for Israeli soldiers and civilians to die, just so we can say we were careful and didn´t hit potential civilians? The world accuses us anyways of war crimes, no matter how much proof we show them. Just kill the terrorists!! If the world will scream at us anyway, it might as well be for a good reason.
Even those so called “civilians” are not really civilians, most of them side with hamas, and would be terrorists themselves with little persuasion.
what a brilliant way of Israel telling their story to the world
Innocent civilians have always been casualties of war. Men, women and children. War is devastating.
HOWEVER, if it’s your civilians vs their civilians, it goes without saying that their civilians must [sadly] die. If you disagree with this then you are an absolute fool.
With terrorist there is no choice, you shoot to kill.
What is the purpose of this? To rewire liberal neural pathways?
