Two Israeli officials said that the military had targeted Mr. Deif while he was inside a fenced Hamas-run compound that was not used as a camp for displaced people.
So all the ones killed are Hamas combatants.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says it “is not absolutely certain” that Hamas terror chief Muhammad Deif and his deputy Rafa’a Salameh were eliminated in today’s IDF strike in Gaza.
Wow great success there. Just bomb the safe zone refugee camp and if anyone asks you ‘missed deif’ oopsie haha.
So I learned recently countries have a calculation of how many civilians would be acceptable casualties in order to eliminate a high value target.
For example, the US in it’s hunt for Bin-Laden, had an acceptable civilian casualty number of 30 to kill him.
Israel just killed 71 and wounded who knows how many more to hit a guy I’ve never heard of. They say they probably didn’t get him, and today I learned they’ve already killed his family in other strikes and he may have even been dead for years at this point.
The casualty math is gross but I get it. What Israel is doing is pure atrocity. Biden needs to get off Netanyahu and the Republicans’ collective dick or we will have Trump cheering shit like this on.
Deif is right after Sinwar in the chain of command in Gaza.
Rafa Salama, the commander of the Khan Younis Brigade, was also targeted in that strike.
The attack was on a fenced Hamas compound. I’ve seen they already published satellite pictures from before and after the strike.And so far I haven’t seen reports that distinguish between combatants and civilians. Either way Hamas combatants usually don’t wear uniforms. You can see it in the videos they publish.
