Isn't the whole point of hostages or human shields is that you're supposed to not kill them? I think it's generally seen as bad if you kill civilians when taking out "bad guys".

I do not understand why this became such a huge argument for why the Palestinian casualties are so high.

    Also would like to add they bombed important infrastructure related to electricity and water purification/desalination! and because they have a blockage these things cannot be fixed. causing a massive water scarcity and brown and blackouts, causing rotting food if they happen to have a refrigerator. it makes them even more dependent on humanitarian aid which Israel also is in complete control of (and does the bare minimum possible, sometimes less, causing malnutrition in some kids/people.)

      Have you a map of the striken sites? The UN org map of the last one took a couple of month and I wasn't aware there currently is a sensible overview.

        I have no, just going off what actual Palestinians have said in the past and other articles speaking on the food and water insecurities. There is bit more to it than just that though, even Netanyahu has spoken about putting Palestinians on a diet
