I don't understand why they don't target the evac helicopters tbh. It seems advantageous if enemy infantry is scared to significantly advance forward for fear that they might not be rescued when they need it. I'm sure the resistance have a good reason not to shoot down the rescues, but guessing what it is is beyond my (admittedly steeped in and informed by american brutality) grasp of strategy.
Edit I just remembered that they are pursuing a strategy of guerrilla resistance where actually you want the enemy to advance
Wounded soldiers are more of a detriment to a military (any equipment and personnel needed to get them out plus a hospital bed, doctors, and medical equipment, possibly for months, once they reach a hospital, all for someone who odds are won't ever be combat fit again) than dead ones are.
In part, if the Resistance shoots down ONE evac copter, western media will made it major headline news and the narrative will be how the Resistance isn’t fighting by Queensbury Rules and so that’s why Israel’s genocide is justified. Meanwhile Israel can blow up 100 ambulances in Gaza and hardly a peep in western news.
