What are we looking at, here? Without any context at all, I see a picture of a bunch of burned out cars.
Those are the cars that were shot to pieces by Israeli helicopters as part of the Hannibal Directive, which is an IDF doctrine that says they should kill their own citizens to prevent them being taken hostage. On Oct 7th, a large number of Israelis were fleeing the music festival in their cars and were killed by the IDF. IIRC the Israeli government later crushed all the cars before anyone could investigate them and confirm this, as it's obviously a bad look to slaughter your own civilians.
Context, these are cars that contained both Palestinian and Israeli people, that were destroyed by Israel due to the Hannibal Directive.
The IDF confirmed this to be true, stating
TLDR: Israel felt it better to kill their own citizens than to let them be taken hostage.
i mean, them doing this deliberately as hannibal doctrine is one possibility, the other is that panicked fascist IDF personnel who arrived at the scene just started blasting every moving thing because that's just how they're trained
suddenly we're back again at the hannibal doctrine, albeit indirectly.
ah yes, the question is who was in on it and who was not, i guess
