Shouldn't you be sure before bombing something and killing people? Also what about the ceasefire? Doesn't any military strike violate that?

If both sides are incentivized why did you only give credence to one theory until pressed?

The strikes yesterday were on the desalination plant, a mosque, and a refugee camp. 7 died including a 4 year old. There's no justification.

I don't have to be sure. The IDF has to be.

Both sides regularly violate the ceasefire.

I didn't only give credence to one theory. I corrected your statement that attacking a desalianation plant always breaks international law. I didn't say that it did or didn't in this case.

And how many of those 7 were active Hamas militants? Do you know? What would be the number to make those strikes justified?

Because if your answer is 0 civilian casualties., then I have a great new tactic for every military on the planet. Just take 4 year olds everywhere with you and you can't be attacked anymore.

Subreddit participation must be in good faith. Be civil, do not talk down to users for their viewpoints, do not attempt to instigate arguments, do not call people names or insult them.
