I’ve never understood how dropping a flyer on someone’s house letting them know they’re going to be bombed stops Hamas. What’s stopping Hamas from fleeing as soon as they see the flyer?

The only person then impacted by the bombing is the guy whose house you bombed.

They are bombing areas where intelligence gather puts Hamas activity, safe houses and other assets that can’t easily be relocated. If Hamas tries to move military equipment,IDF is watching the area to strike when they come out in the open. If nobody leaves they strike the area as planned.

If you knew your neighbor had a rocket launch system in his basement they you personally saw him firing off towards a nearby city, and for reasons we won’t discuss decided not to inform the authorities, and then one day woke up to your street being blanketed with fliers saying bombs were going to strike the location because of militant activity why would you stay?

They’re willing to accept a lower success rate for a lower civilian casualty rate - isn’t that exactly what you want?

Riiight… the genocidal mass-murderers (supposedly) wants a “lower civilian casualty rate.”

Perhaps the “genocidal mass murderers” is the part in error

So they just want to destroy civilian property.

There are significantly easier and less expensive ways to do that, so this seems unlikely

Almost like it’s not actually designed to stop them

You can’t move a tunnel entrance. Hamas can run away, but they’re still going to get a building collapsed on top of the tunnel entrance.

Even Hamas admits to the existence of the tunnels. If it’s to prove they exist I’m not sure what more proof we need.
