. . but I thought any Palestinain who died at the hands of the IDF was a "martyr".

For 75 years the I/P conflict has been waged as a jihad against Israeli Jews whereby militants and jihadnikim purposely target innocent civilians - and Israeli defense forces that try to stop them by targeting the militants who hide among and hide their weapons and explosives among the civilian Palestinain populace.

The three civilians who died in this raid along with the 14 militants - are proof of this fact. If the IDF was simply targeting Palestinian civilians there would be no need to expose themselves to armed militants. There would have been no militants killed and a great many more civilians.

There is no moral equivalence between murder and self-defense - except maybe in the minds of the religious fanatics that push that crap - and those that support them.
