It isn't a humanitarian mission, it is urban warfare in a defensive war by Israel. It isn't much and pretty cynical to call in a bombing, but better than nothing and there is considerable risk too as the announcement could warn enemy troops.

Nothing about this massacre is defensive. To even say such a thing is farcical. You don’t kill thousands of children in a defensive war.

It’s a war of terror. Full stop.

War of terror is what Israel would be subjected to if they didn't intervene and destroy the infrastructure that allows for thousands of rockets to be aimed at it. Without the iron dome, there would be countless dead.
Ah yes, the hypothetical menace justifies the actual terror.

Also those rockets barely do damage. “Countless dead” is hyperbole. And destroying hospitals, bombing civilians, and murdering journalists doesn’t stop the rockets.

Miss me with your Hasbara talking points, thanks.

I think you need to read up on Nakba. Israel is the invading force since 1948.

I did read up on it, did you read out about the plans of al-Husseini before it? The subjugation of Jews and the planned holocaust of the middle east?
