    Copied from another comment:

    • Hamas sets up military operations in a civilian building by force - the civilians have no say in this and get killed if they protest
    • Hamas then uses that building to launch rockets, store ammunition, communication stations

    How the fuck should Israel proceed to neutralize those sites? Because what they do is:

    • “Roof knocking”: Hitting the building’s roof with a small explosive to announce that it will fall in 15 minutes (see video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teevWpXlRZY example from yesterday)
    • Automatic SMS and phone calls impacted areas warning and urging to evacuate
    • Precision strikes that make the building fall vertically with minimal damage to the areas

    As a result, civilians (and potentially military personnel) are given a chance to evacuate while ammunition stashes, rocket launching stations etc stay in the building and are destroyed.

    To be honest, I’m shocked those protocols are still used after Hamas’s attack. I would absolutely not be surprised of these measures stopped.
