Israel's Military Tactics and Officials' Statements on Gaza

Israel's choices of methods and means of conducting hostilities in Gaza since the 7th of October,

including through the extensive use of explosive weapons with wide area affecting densely populated areas,

have failed to ensure that they effectively distinguish between civilians and fighters.

At around the time of these attacks,

an IDF spokesperson was reported to have said that while balancing accuracy with scope of damage,

right now we're focused on what causes maximum damage.

Another IDF official was quoted as saying,

Hamas and the residents of Gaza are human beasts and are dealt with accordingly.

Israel has imposed a total blockade on Gaza, he says.

No electricity and no water, just damage.

You wanted hell,

you will get hell, he said.
