Agreed, but “shooting” implies they do most of their killing with bullets - single shots with limited collateral / a weapon designed to kill only what you point it at. but really they’re dropping hundreds of pounds of bombs on people and buildings, opting for means of destruction that annihilate everyone and everything closeby.

And that’s why we only ever see IOF militants fighting in the rubble of Gaza. They’re only brave enough to use bullets after they’ve killed as many people as possible with their bombs

The IOF still uses precision weapons like snipers to pick off children and disabled people.

oh good point. snipers to explode children's limbs, and bombs in case there's human shields. isntrael

I guess that could be another callout too. Bombs don't have eyes to differentiate who is around so why drop in a populated area.
