(10,847 posts)If Israel was targeting civilians there would be 1,000's of casualties, not scores.
There wouldn't be any if the terrorist group Hamas did not purposely use civilian human shields.
Also taking Hamas civilian casualty reports at face value is ridiculous, I believe their reports like I do other terrorist groups like the Taliban and ISIS, may be a grain of truth but you can bet they inflate the numbers for a PR bonus.
As to "mass rocket attacks", there are remarkably few casualties.
How would you quantify thousands of long range rockets fired into Israel? A few?
Remarkably few casualties because between Iron Dome missile defense and bomb shelters the Israelis are prepared for Hamas trying to kill as many Israeli civilians as they can.
Just because Hamas is bad at it does not change what they are trying to do.
