Lethal Precision Without Accountability: Israeli Government "Quadcopter" Use in Gaza
costsofwar.watson.brown.edu
This report illustrates that the manner in which the Israeli military uses small tactical drones in Gaza as instruments of “precision warfare” has not reduced civilian harm but has intensified it. Dr. Mimi Syed, (Emergency Medicine Physician with direct experience in Gaza), Wes J. Bryant (Former U.S. Air Force special operations targeting expert and Pentagon advisor on precision warfare and civilian harm mitigation), Charles O. Blaha (retired former 32-year State Department official) and Stephanie Savell (Director of Costs of War) authored the report.

    1. After reading the report: To me this sounds not really credible. Stabilising and aiming a quadcopter outside is difficult and doing that with a weapon a dozen meters away pointing at a child is even harder. And why just target children with it? The group of persons that will likely get you into very bad publicity? The whole report is also based on 5 alleged cases (in one case the kid was run over by a car?). There is also no image of a CT scan, photographic evidence of a quadcopter with a gun or other evidence anywhere in the report. I think that it’s more likely these have been “normal” deaths and a quadcopter was only present in the area.
    2. The only posts of you to this community are about Gaza. Looks like a violation of rule #5 to me. Maybe posts such stuff inside the corresponding communities but not here.
