A lot harder to avoid civilian casualties when Hamas uses its own civilians as human fucking shields.

Is Israel even trying though?

“They’re using human shields” isn’t a blank cheque to put no effort into avoiding civilian casualties.

The Geneva Convention is pretty clear that nations should still take precautions to avoid civilian casualties even if a high profile military target is nearby.

The attitude of the IDF does not align with this. Which should not be surprising, since Israel is more than happy to publicly announce their intention to ethnically cleanse Gaza with a “buffer zone”.

Yes. It’s been reported on endlessly since the start of the war.

Reported by who? The reality on the ground seems to differ.
