‘Not a normal war’: doctors say children have been targeted by Israeli snipers in Gaza
theguardian.com

Israeli and foreign human rights groups have documented a long history of snipers firing on unarmed Palestinians, including children, in Gaza and the West Bank.

Palestinians in Gaza also report a terrifying new development in the latest Gaza war – armed drones able to hover over streets and pick off individuals. Called quadcopters, some of these drones are used as remote-control snipers that Palestinians say have been used to shoot civilians.

The whole event of 7th Oct, as horrendous as it was, is now completely and utterly overshadowed by these evil events in Gaza. The whole thing is deplorable on both sides. This is pure evil.

At this point I wouldn't be at all surprised if it turned out Bibi staged the October attack as a false flag so he could justify genocide.

I highly doubt he staged it. But it has crossed my mind that he might have got wind of a Hamas planning something and just turned a blind eye so it could be used to fuel an invasion of the Gaza Strip.

Oh yeah it's not like I think it's likely, just that at it wouldn't really surprise me

It’s publicly stated by Israeli military staff there were warnings of preparations for an attack that were not believed by top brass and the administration despite clear evidence.

There is a bunch of reporting on this in mainstream news sources if you look.

It is positioned that they never believed Hamas would have the capabilities to carry out what they were clearly planning
