    Is lemmy having trouble telling the difference between Hamas and Hezbollah now?

      No? This is implying that Israel has had the technology to precisely target people for months but chooses to destroy a whole region instead went it came to Palestine.

        Your comment implies they had a method like this one to attack Hamas. Source?

          I mean they have the method and the will to use it, that’s all I’m saying. Why couldn’t they intercept the phones and other devices used by Hamas leaders the same way?

            The method may not have been applicable for some reason. Shooting people in the head is a method but unless they line up for you away from everyone who’s not Hamas, that’s not a realistic method to employ.

              for some reason

              Oh ok, super convincing argument. I refer to my previous response regarding the amount of control Israel exerts on Gaza. The suggestion that they could not do something similar there is absurd.

                Oops, you missed this part (I’m sure it was an accident)

                may not have been applicable for some reason

                The comments I’m replying to are absolutely sure what Israel could have done. Mine make it clear I don’t know what Israel knows.

                The burden of proof is on those who seem to think they just need whatever information is on the public internet to know what would or wouldn’t work against various targets.

                Consider dialing back the confidence seeing as no one here knows shit about what intel any groups involved has.

              Agreed! It’s SAFER to just Bomb Orphanages and Schools to ENSURE those Hamas Kids die instead of using your Military Knowledge you Obviously have to find a Way to target ONLY Hamas!

          So they can do it to a sovereign nation, but they cannot do it to the completely oppressed population living in territories that they have complete control over, including every person and item that enters and exits? OK.

          Do you just not know what the reality in Gaza is like? Do you not understand the level of control that Israel has exerted on those people for the past 8+ decades?

          There is a reason that nobody can get humanitarian aide to them.
