Israeli air strikes on a so-called “humanitarian zone” in southern Gaza’s al-Mawasi killed at least 40 people on Tuesday, according to health authorities in the enclave.

The strikes targeted at least 20 tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the coastal area near the city of Khan Younis.

Eyewitnesses told AFP that at least five rockets fell in the area, with emergency services saying the strikes created craters up to nine metres deep.

    It’s how they describe themselves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purity_of_arms

    The soldier shall make use of his weaponry and power only for the fulfillment of the mission and solely to the extent required; he will maintain his humanity even in combat. The soldier shall not employ his weaponry and power in order to harm non-combatants or prisoners of war, and shall do all he can to avoid harming their lives, body, honor and property. — Spirit of the Israel Defense Forces

    Not responding further. I’m in no way accusing anyone of justifying anything, I’m quoting the appropriate section of the article relevant to the fallacy.

    No shit, all you’ve done is say hamas bad so idf okay then get upset when everyone points out that’s not an argument.

    Even here you’ve done nothing but try to take the moral high ground in an area you clearly need to educate yourself more on.
