>The order, which has not previously been reported
Yes it has, over a year ago:

>>”Another source said that a senior intelligence officer told his officers after October 7 that the goal was to “kill as many Hamas operatives as possible,” for which the criteria around harming Palestinian civilians were significantly relaxed.”
It even mentions in both articles that they were allowed to target militants at home with their families, and in both that they were allowed to kill over a hundred civilians in a single strike.
Israel finding ways to murder more civilians than ever before? Noooo…say it isn’t so? How could this be?
More and more evidence that Israel is a country built on bones and perpetual genocide.
Anyone with eyes knew that there was a big change to the rules of engagement. But I don’t think these reports tell the whole story.
I suspect that this is a cover story to hide the reality of the truth of the days and weeks following Hamas’ 7th Oct attack.
And the reality was, that Israel was trying to kill as many Palestinians as possible out of rage. It wasn’t even targeting Hamas fighters. It may have relaxed the official rules of engagement so that the records show that it only bombed residential apartment blocks full of families when “a military aged male” was seen to enter it. But that was just administrative cover for what happened. And what the order from the top wanted to happen in gaza.
Which was? A punishment massacre of civilians.
The Gaza Massacre has too much evidence to dismiss. Why did Israel use huge bombs to destroy whole apartment blocks if it was targeting individual or small groups of fighters? Why did it cut off water and food and medicine to the whole of Gaza if it was targeting Hamas? Why did two of its ministers speak about total siege and express indifference to civilian harm?
Because the aim of the operation was primarily to massacre civilians. And this talk of a loosening of the rules of engagement is just a cover to make it look like they were still primarily targeting militants.
They already bomb hospitals and refugee camps. How can their rules by any loser?
Honestly I don’t care what “terrorist attacks” are carried out in Israel anymore. At this point the Israeli people are cartoon villains and as long as they exist there can never be peace in the Middle East.
Hamas is a resistance group.
