MODERATORS
Israel hit 1600 targets in Lebanon on Monday. None of them have been reported as shopping centers.
office buildings, gyms, etc also have a fairly high adult to child ratio.
35 children suggests they may be hitting some residential housing.
Yes, they probably attacked some residential housing where top military commanders were successfully targeted.
In what world is it acceptable military doctrine to kill the entire family of enemy combatants? If that was the case with Israeli soldiers you'd be able to extrapolate a justifiable strike to include almost the entire population as almost all citizens have done military service. Take a minute to actually soak in what you just said.
If Hamas kills Israeli adult civilians who must compulsively do military service but aren't active duty, it's the worst possible crime. But if you're the second cousin of someone suspected of knowing a militant you deserve sudden death. It's really simple
Edited: Oh. You're being sarcastic. I thought you were an idiot, but it turns out it is I who is the idiot...womp womp
This has been practice since more than 20 years with drone strikes for example.
