There`s no doubt that Hamas is engaging the IDF from the vicinity of civilian sanctuaries, however that does not excuse the IDF from using massive and indiscriminate firepower in the vicinity of these same civilians. The IDF has huge advantages in terms of technology, training and resources but rather than risk a single casualty they apply grossly inappropriate firepower that will almost certainly kill innocent civilians. I have always been an admirer of the efficiency & success of the IDF, but now, having witnessed their disregard for innocent life I am convinced they are an army of cowards. How would they fare against a similarly resourced military force? My guess is they would break and run. Cowards. Cowards. Cowards.
