Over the weekend, at least 82 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes on Jabaliya refugee camp, including multiple United Nations schools sheltering Palestinians. At least 85 incidents of Israeli bombing have impacted 67 facilities run by the United Nations relief agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA) in the last two months. We speak with Tamara Alrifai, spokesperson for UNRWA, about the organization sheltering close to a million Palestinians from Israel’s assault, which has killed 104 of her colleagues since the beginning of the war — the highest number of United Nations aid workers killed in a conflict in the history of the United Nations. Alrifai says her agency is only getting half of the fuel they need to serve people in Gaza, being forced to choose between clean water, food and transport. “If UNRWA ceases to exist tomorrow, then there is a huge layer of stabilizing and stability that UNRWA usually offers in a very, very volatile area that also collapses.”
Why is the IDF still relying on bombing and artillery strike to stop Hamas if it’s proven it causes such high civilian casualties?
You’re funded and supplied by the largest military industrial complex in the world and its allies and you’re telling me you can’t get troops on the ground to rescue hostages?
It almost seems intentional at this point and if they keep this up, between them blowing the shit out of Gaza and Hamas executing/torturing hostages, there won’t be anyone left to rescue.

Ukraine is fighting using what it can beg, steal and borrow. Israel has a world class military with a functional air force.
Why send a little drone with a kilo of munitions, when you can send an F15 with a JDAM.
Whether or not they care about civilian deaths is a moot point with this argument.

I never said they shouldn’t, simply answering your question.

The main reason is because they already learned from the United States that going into combat in dense cities doesn’t work when you’re the one attacking. They care more about their own lives than the lives of innocent people.
IDF’s objective is to inflict as much violence/barbarism/terror as they can so that 2.1 million people vacate their land. And it is precisely what they are doing. Hostages are not even a real objective at this point. Source: IDF commanders/ Israeli ministers/TV channels
They see every Palestinian baby as a terrorist. They have manufactured their justification for slaughtering children.
