The pager attack was pretty targeted. Very low percentage of civilians killed (unlike the percentages of Hezbollah attacks on Israel).

chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 day agoI don’t think there’s proof yet, but Isreal has shown zero qualms about killing innocent civilians.

Just FYI, that attack injured more than 100 people per person targeted and led to 10 people per person targeted to lose their eyes. That seems very untargeted to me.

Not trying to be that guy I swear, have you got a source? That number seems pretty high even for Israel

I’ve seen attacks where a hundred people were either killed or injured, they call that a car bomb. I.E, you need a vehicle to carry that much explosive.
Utter nonsense that a pager did that.

How is that even remotely possible? The users here will believe absolutely anything.

Explosives famously only harm the intended target and not anyone else around them, don’tcha know?

The innocents in question are human shields being used by Hamas to protect their objectives. The suffering of those humans and children should have resulted in a massive operation to dismantle Hamas’ financial teeth. Instead hamas leaders still take all humanitarian aid and repurpose them against Israel. Qatar and Israel are the real perpetrators of this violence.

No, the innocents in this case would be anyone who lived with or near the target, so their family and neighbors. It’s not like they sent in snipers to take out the one target, they sent bombs.

Yeah but Israel is also known to use Palestinian civilians as human shields, such as when crossing a suspected minefield.

Got a curtain for that claim?
There are also claims of IDF sending civilians ahead of a raid in a potentially booby trapped buildings.
But why waste our time on hearsay? It is hard enough examining am the documented evidence from each side.
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 1 day ago
Human rights organizations and many high-profile news outlets have reported on this. See citations in the relevant Wikipedia article section. Reuters even has an article with video evidence.
That said, Hamas does this too and their surrender is probably the best we could hope for to further peace talks.

One of the target’s two children died in the pager attacks. civilian casualties & injuries are not always human shields. In the case of pager attacks for instance none actually was since the attack was unexpected.

They obviously have way more than zero qualms about killing innocent civilians. Gaza would look a lot different if they did not.

They simply define who is innocent or a civilian. Or human. It’s quite clever.
