    Whilst I agree that Israel is willing to cause a lot of damage just to get rid of a small amount of Hamas members, it’s definitely very far from carpet bombing (of Dresden, for example) where there are several warnings to leave the critical zones.

      They sometimes send warnings (that Gazans aren’t always able to receive). A lot of the time they don’t. Also like the other guy said, Israel has dropped enough bombs for 6 Dresdens. They just didn’t do it all at once.

        It is impossible to make sure every inhabitant of Gaza gets the warning. However, it is quite a lot of warnings when they know who is registered under which telecom network, so they can mass send SMSs and also leaflets. Without those warnings, there would be far more causalities. And it is quite a good point that they did not do it all at once. That means civilians have some time to leave.

        Yes, that’s number of destroyed buildings. Those 59% were done in 2 days and there were deaths of 25k people (in those 2 days), so whilst Israel should pay more attention to killing civilians (or provide a very good proof that the operation is so far successful), it’s definitely not close to carpet bombing.
