Third, and I am NOT claiming this is the case but it is a possibility, is that Hamas was operating where his family was and successfully added another PR story by using them as shields.
Repeat I’m NOT claiming this is the case, but if you’re debating possibilities, that is one of them as well.
Disclaimer: Bombing civilians is a war crime, I condem the IDF for it and hope that trials happen in the ICC. Intentionally targeting civilians is literally one of the defined war crimes. I do not support what happened here. I also condemn Hamas for hiding among and intentionally using a civilian population as shields which is also a war crime.
Israel is not a member of the ICC, so even if there are trials they won’t have jurisdiction, meaning that it would be rather symbolic ruling with very little impact.

Creating a safe zone, telling everybody to move to it, and then bombing targets there anyway isn’t a great look
Its more than bad optics, it’s an outright egregious war crime, and those responsible need to be held accountable at the ICC.

Oh Boy, not a popular opinion around here…
The pro hamas lovers here hate objectivity and reason. But negative magic internet points is a non-issue compared to standing up to these monsters.
