    "next to" and "near" doing so much heavy lifting you need a special license to operate them

    "Once the fires from the Apache missiles have died down, IDF soldiers found amongst the burned up ruins of this child's bedroom housing 15 of the most vulnerable children in Gaza...."

    Isn't Israel the place that requires all the footage coming out of Gaza by journalists to go through them before the journalists get it back (if they get it back)?

    Isn't it also the place that keeps murdering journalists like Shireen Abu Akleh and blowing up AP buildings?

    I'm sure whatever state propaganda they put out is totally trustworthy and reliable though.

    I don't know what hasbara's plan is but I think this kid's book title is just a bit too wordy...

    The Chronicles of Hamas: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Tunnels That Exist in Schools, Hospitals, and Other 'Civilian' Infrastructure That Must Be Destroyed Because They Actually Lead to Highly Fortified Terrorist Bunker Nests

    Israel has the most advanced spy technology in the world and they absolutely cannot determine whether or not an innocuous civilian infrastructure houses their enemy, therefore striking everything indiscriminately?

    the more I look at this image the more it appears to be AI Generated.

    Is he holding something in his right hand?

    What is going on with the middle headboard/broken mirror?

    Need @Tervell to identify the gun. Looks kinda small and weird with the strap looking sketchy?

    Fan looks kinda weird, where are the blades? Maybe it's running?

    I say this because Adobe has been selling AI bullshit related to this conflict.

      I think I've seen pliers or something that look like that

        Sure, yea, for surgery maybe, why is he holding them though?

        The space between his fingers looks weird to me, is he actually holding them?

          Maybe they have are used for "collecting evidence" or something

          To be clear, I think the IDF is lying, but in a normal staging way instead of with AI

        It's not a Galil. Look at the magwell, it's "enclosed" rather than the "open" AK-style magwell of the Galil. The Galil and Tavor are well-known, but the majority of IDF soldiers are issued with the US-American M4 or M16, because they are much cheaper than the IMI weapons. The one in the photo looks like a Mk18 CQBR (basically just a CQB M4).

        Thank you, that certainly looks silly and unfamiliar to me. This one must have a silly CQB short barrel.

        edit: I looked again, still seems like AI. Why are there two weird strings coming back from the Muzzle Shroud to the Magazine and Receiver? Forward Grip looks silly too, but that could just be a shadow making a weird silhouette.

        Edit: also, looking more, check out the forward Knee, what is the the weird dark shadow/chunk obscuring 1/4 of the leg, weird how it leaks onto the other leg too.

          The shoulder looks weird.

          I don't see any distinguishable patches.

          Weird radio(?) thing on the back but he is using a cellphone? I guess it could be an earpiece...
