Recommendable! Israel is dealing with very coward terrorists hiding behind and abusing the civilian population as shields!
"... For decades subsequently, Israeli policymakers — including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — nevertheless restrained and limited Israeli actions. In April 2002, 23 Israeli soldiers died in Jenin raiding a bomb-making factory and rolling up a terror cell. The Israelis attacked on the ground because of Jenin’s density and the purposeful Palestinian strategy to station terrorists and bomb-making factories in civilian areas. Had the Israel Defense Forces not cared about collateral damage, they could simply have bombed the location and eliminated the same cell without sacrificing any of their own. Nevertheless, the international community screamed bloody murder, with the United Nations suggesting Israel’s “Jenin Massacre” killed 500 innocent Palestinians. In reality, Israel killed 53 Palestinians, 48 of whom were terrorists.
Israeli restraint was also behind its so-called “mowing the lawn” strategy: Whenever Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad launched missiles or attacks on Israel or neared the capability to do so, Israel would engage in pin-prick attacks to degrade terrorist capabilities, kill bomb makers, or destroy the factories transforming ostensibly humanitarian supplies into lethal weaponry. It was the ultimate kick-the-can-down-the-road strategy that cost the lives of 1,200 Israelis on October 7, 2023, but the Israelis sought to walk the tightrope between tactical effectiveness while shielding themselves from international criticism.
As dishonest as the United Nations, European officials, and media were then, they are exponentially worse now. Almost two years since Hamas invaded Israel during a ceasefire and killed more Jews in a single day than at any time since the Holocaust, the United Nations and European Union have yet to investigate how international assistance they provided ended up creating the largest military tunnel network since the Vietnam War. Donors have not asked how the hospitals they built became covers for prisons and torture chambers and how the doctors they salaried had their silence if not complicity purchased.
