[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BBC reports that what IDF called a "precise strike" on a Hamas "command and control center" on a school in Gaza last week killed 22 people.

13 of those killed were children.
6 were women.
1 was a "local Hamas figure"

So one local Hamas figure = Hamas command and control center. And justifies the killing of 19 women and children. Absolutely atrocious.

I'm sorry to inform you that Hamas is holding hostages and shot some point blank a few weeks ago. It's horrible on both sides. There is no justification - just a cycle of violence until a mediator can get in and broker not on behalf of the sides, but on behalf of all the innocent people being harmed during the duration and what their best interest is. Let's call for that.[/quote]

I know that there are hostages being held in Gaza. I also know that Israeli leadership doesn't care about those hostages.

I am sorry for all the innocent hostages being held in Gaza and their families. And all the innocent Palestinians being kept in torture camps in Israel. May they all get the freedom they deserve.

My post was just to point out that although it has fallen out of the news cycle, innocent people are still being killed everyday in Gaza. Yesterday ~100 people were killed in Gaza.

Israel needs to stop the murder in Gaza. They will never get all the hamas members. They got one in that strike, and who knows how many more traumatized people from that strike will take his place. It's maddening.[/quote]

Where is your anger that Hamas is sheltering its commanders among civilian women and children?[/quote]

How many commanders does Hamas have? Every single strike on schools, mosques, and an orphanage is being called a strike on a "Hamas command and control center".

Literally, every single one.

That "hamas command and control center" in the fourth link killed one "local Hamas figure". The IDF can't even keep track of which schools they are hitting. From the bbc article (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3dv18l03n1o) about that strike:

In their public statement about the 21 September strike, the IDF incorrectly named the former school they hit – Al-Zeitoun C – instead identifying another one nearby, Al-Falah.

We confirmed that Al-Zeitoun C was the one that had been hit by speaking to local people, as well as comparing videos of the attack aftermath with satellite imagery.

The Hamas-run Gazan authorities also named it as Al-Zeitoun C.

When asked about incorrectly naming the school, the IDF refused to comment.

Dr Amjad Eliwa, an emergency physician who treated those injured in the strike, described over 30 injuries reaching his hospital, saying they were “mostly among children and women, with cases of amputations and very severe injuries”.

He described one of those who died as a woman who was six months pregnant.

This was corroborated by images of a fetus at the site of the strike, and residents said the dead woman was Barah Deraawi, who died along with two young daughters, Israa and Iman.
