“Days ago, the Israeli army installed huge military cranes, each about 30 meters tall, on the eastern areas it controls. These cranes… fire randomly and almost continuously at tents, streets, and exposed neighbourhoods.”

He added: “There is no place to hide, and not a single moment of safety.”

Three people had been killed by the cranes in the space of two days, Nahed claimed, including a five-year-old girl playing near her home.

There's a second difference; the quality of information about it.

The Nazis managed to keep the concentration camps secret for most of the war. Israelis can't claim they don't know what's being done.
