-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So I learned recently countries have a calculation of how many civilians would be acceptable casualties in order to eliminate a high value target.
For example, the US in it's hunt for Bin-Laden, had an acceptable civilian casualty number of 30 to kill him.
Israel just killed 71 and wounded who knows how many more to hit a guy I've never heard of. They say they probably didn't get him, and today I learned they've already killed his family in other strikes and he may have even been dead for years at this point.
The casualty math is gross but I get it. What Israel is doing is pure atrocity. Biden needs to get off Netanyahu and the Republicans' collective dick or we will have Trump cheering shit like this on.
Deif is right after Sinwar in the chain of command in Gaza.
Rafa Salama, the commander of the Khan Younis Brigade, was also targeted in that strike.
The attack was on a fenced Hamas compound. I've seen they already published satellite pictures from before and after the strike.
And so far I haven't seen reports that distinguish between combatants and civilians. Either way Hamas combatants usually don't wear uniforms. You can see it in the videos they publish.
Stop lying and stop trying to justify war crimes.
Lying about what?
The subject of this thread is about a strike on an army compound. That's not a war crime.
No, the subject is attack of the state terrorist group, namely IDF on unarmed civilians in the refugee camp.
You claim something but provide no evidence for the readers of your comment. So where’s the evidence? I’m curious. Any article I find writes only about Deif being the target, here’s one of them written on 13 July 2024:
Who is Mohammed Deif, Hamas military commander targeted by Israel?
From the article:
Your next text:
You have already 'seen' it but provide no link to the source of your claim where you've seen it. Provide a source; otherwise, it's just a rumor or a lie.
Not entirely true either: Israel Sought to Contain Hamas for Years. Now It Faces a Potentially Costly Fight to Eliminate It.
The article is paywalled but the article is not the point, the image they use is. It shows how Hamas dresses usually. Sometimes they do wear normal clothes, just as IDF soldiers do. Did you forget what IDF did? Let me remind you:
Israeli special forces disguised as doctors kill three militants at West Bank hospital
Israeli troops dressed as civilians and medics kill three during raid on West Bank hospital.
Israeli special forces dressed as Palestinian refugees for hostage rescue: Sources.
Even ''better'', here's a video of IDF dressed as women in action:
About Rafa?
Sure: Yahoo, Reuters, Asharq Al-Awsat
Quote from Reuters:
About the pictures, this article shows them.
Reuters also mentioned them, but it's written they haven't verified them yet.
I should've clarified. They aren't currently using uniforms. As in, in the fighting since the 7th of October. They justify it themselves in interviews and you can see it in videos of theirs.
And that isn't the IDF, it's the Israeli police's counter-terrorism unit.
Thanks for the sources.
It does not matter whether they are doing it now, later or in the past. My point is: both sides are purposefully blending in society of the Palestinian people and that Hamas does indeed have their own military uniforms.
So it is not verified yet or is it? As long as it is not verified by someone else than Israel or Hamas, how certain can we as viewers and readers be? Israel is known for lying to the entire world. Few examples of their lies:
IDF found a calendar in Arabic, not a Hamas ‘names list’ at hospital
Israeli soldier claims Arabic calendar is Hamas 'guardian list'
Watching the watchdogs: Babies and truth die together in Israel-Palestine
Making a distinct between IDF and their police unit does not matter. Israel is doing it as well. That's my point. Therefore you cannot only 'point fingers' to Hamas.
Honestly my whole point of argument is; there's no justifying what Israel has been doing since 7 October. Way (way) to many innocent Palestinian civillains have been murdered by Israel with very little ''victory'' for Israel. Israel's PM goal is not achievable at all. Because Hamas will forever exist as long as Israel is the occupier, stealing land, illegal settlements, Apartheid and everything else they do towards the Palestinian people.
"Speaking to Newshour on the BBC World Service, Dr Mohammed Abu Rayya, who is at a hospital dealing with the aftermath of the attack, said the majority of those injured were suffering from multiple shrapnel wounds.
He said it was like being in "hell", adding that many of the casualties were civilians, notably women and children. "
Go to hell.
