This is an operation to kill terrorists. I'm seeing no organised army in Palestine which justifies the horrors going on there.
The only thing I can draw equivalence to is this. For example, the folk who blew up the London Underground and the London bus on 7 July 2005 were from Leeds and Aylesbury. Now let's assume the British intelligence had evidence that there were other members of a cell in those locations. What would they do?
A. Have a special operation to seek out those suspects and bring them to justice.
Or
B. Bomb the shit out of Leeds and Aylesbury in the hope of killing the suspects associated with the attack.
The casualties among civilians and the malnutrition and starvation just are not justified. You send your operatives into the tunnels, you seek out your enemy and keep civilian death to a minimum.
Netanyahu's history of course is quite different. He seems quite content with indiscriminate death and destruction which is not being very successful in releasing hostages or targeting terrorists. The hateful talk of right wing settlers in Israel looking forward to having beach front properties in Gaza after this operation feeds this narrative.
This Lavender thing is just more evidence of a "don't care who dies" policy.
I agree, living in Israel, I'm going to have to admit that there are far too many genocidal freaks lurking around, but most of the people are kinda apathetic towards the whole thing and silently accept their government's actions and one could argue that this is even worse. Some of them balantly argue that they 'lost all their empathy to the people of gaza', some of them try to find excuses, others are just ignorant to what their government is doing within its own borders and in other places.
There was an extraordinary notion of revenge during the first few months that crossed barriers to the so-called centre-left, even some of the biggest opposers of Netanyahu didn't think for a second that they should refuse to participate, even until this very moment.

I don't remember if it was mentioned in this article, but there was a low ranking militant that went close to WCK's vehicle (but backed up before it started moving), this caused the car to be marked, and the intelligence decision was to allow up to 20 uninvolved casualties to take him down.

I still see no apology from Netanyahu or the IDF. I don't see how, given the aid workers were in clear communication with IDF forces and the logo of the WCK was on the top of the vehicle, repeated drone attacks occurred.
Leave him to Iran.
It will make much more sense after reading this piece

7 hours ago, The Old Crem said:Having surgery for an Hernia - must be serious to need it during this time of national emergency,
Some speculate that this might be a cover-up for something entirely different (the so-called Hernia was discovered during a 'routine check' he had on Sabbath, in a hospital that runs according to the Jewish law and never even had those to begin with), the surgery is also performed by a colorectal surgeon that specializes in surgery of the colon.

4 hours ago, The Old Crem said:But Belarus wasn’t and is not a popular country. If Israel is suspended it will be seen as the EBU acting in an anti - Israel manner. That won’t be acceptable to many people in the UK.
Russia is a past winner but it didn't stop it from being kicked out. As an Israeli I hope that Israel will receive this slap to the face, as it is run by fascists and scums (I mean... same as the UK but you catch my drift)

Weird, this is not mentioned anywhere in local news. They usually mention that he was targeted even if not hit.
