   Its really telling to see the destruction limited to where the structures used to be rather than to all of the surrounding green spaces. If the destruction of civilian dwellings was purely an accident you'd expect to see the destruction spread evenly over the area. Instead it looks much more like a prolonged set of surgical strikes to destroy the buildings while preserving as much of the surrounding areas as possible.

   For a great example of this, look at this pin <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maps.app.goo.gl&#x2F;ZcMbdFcx87PrqoYNA" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maps.app.goo.gl&#x2F;ZcMbdFcx87PrqoYNA

      They just use bulldozers to flatten whatever the bombs don&#x27;t. They can drive a bulldozer pretty precisely, especially when they don&#x27;t care who&#x27;s in front of it or under it.

      Caterpillar even supplies the IDF with bulldozers just for this purpose, which then get up-armored and sent into Palestinian civilian areas to do this (including unmanned versions).

         By the time the bulldozers are there civilians have long moved out of the area.

            And then they bomb them in their tent cities while blocking aid, all while murdering hundreds of journalists so no one sees...

            Been watching it for years. A great stain on history, with weapons paid for and built by Americans, not to mention a complicit media.
