Oh I love allegories. Let me try.
Imagine there was a murderer in your building. But he is not really interested in murdering you, he keeps shooting at some other people you also hate. The feds have tried to go into the building to extract the murderer, but his friends and you lynched the feds when they tried. The murderer has stockpiled his guns in the building and the feds figure that if they can't get to the murderer at least they can destroy his guns and vantage point from which he is firing at people. They don't really want to destroy the building but the murderer is actively trying to kill people and the people he is trying to kill demands action.
You receive a text message that the building you are in will be destroyed shortly. You want to leave, but now the murderer says he will kill you if you do.
It is a very silly thing to think that having a "civilian" stay in a legitimate military target ( rocket launcher and or rocket storage ) makes it a place that is untouchable!
And then you left and srill the rocket kills you even when you ate not in the building anymore
Are you telling me there are people being told their building will be blown up who leave the building to go stand just a few meters away on the street it sits on?
There wan an incident where people were told to evacuate and then the evacuation site was bombed, yes
How far away from the building did they evacuate?
Here ya go!
Not excatly like that. They were told to evacuate to a particular place were they will be secure because supposedly Isael wouldn't strike..... and then, they strike that place anyway.
Yeah okay that's fucked, that undermines IDF claims completely.
Palestinians don't get text warnings. Their warning of bombs is just smaller bombs.
I mean, I did a quick Google search. The first result says otherwise.
YES. Isreal warns it's own people of all of that. The people of Palestine gets none of that. Their warning is smaller bombs.

If Hamas orders civilians to stay in buildings that will be bombed, those lives are taken by Hamas, not Israel.
100% agreed
