Why It's Hard to Believe Israel's Claim That It Did Its Best to Minimize Civilian Deaths....
I served as a crew commander in the Israeli artillery corps at the beginning of the Second Intifada, and I feel compelled to counter this claim from Israel. The images, evidence and army reports from recent operations in Gaza -- of more than 1,900 deaths (a number which will likely increase by the time you read this) and a large amount of the population left without shelter -- show that Israel has deployed massive artillery firepower. Such firepower is impossible to target precisely.
Artillery fire is a statistical means of warfare. It is the complete opposite of sniper fire. While the power of sharpshooting lies in its accuracy, the power of artillery comes from the quantity of shells fired and the massive impact of each one.
In using artillery against Gaza, Israel therefore cannot sincerely argue that it is doing everything in its power to spare the innocent.
The truth is artillery shells cannot be aimed precisely and are not meant to hit specific targets. A standard 40 kilogram shell is nothing but a large fragmentation grenade. When it explodes, it is meant to kill anyone within a 50-meter radius and to wound anyone within a further 100 meters.
Furthermore, the humidity in the air, the heat of the barrel, and the direction of the wind can all cause unguided shells to land 30 or even 100 meters from where they were aimed. That is a huge margin of error in somewhere as densely packed as Gaza. (part from the article) * +

Ummati it doesnt matters. People die in a war . By this time the Palestinians know exactly what to do to stay saf . The problem is they trust the terrorists that they voted into gov. They cant see they are using them as human shields and then they die . People want to say a lot of one or two stray projectiles from Israel but they dont utter a word of hundreds of randomly fired rockets at the inocent people of Israel. * +

Its not always Israel. A senior hamas leader admitted that they were responsible for the death of the three Israeli teens. http://m.news24.com/news24/World/News/Hamas-admits-kidnapping-Israeli-teens-20140821-2 * +

So far BTselem has documented 72 direct bombardments that have destroyed buildings and killed their inhabitants. Of the 547 people killed in these strikes, 125 were women under 60, 250 were minors and 29 were men and women aged 60 or older, The IDF does not say why these 72 buildings were bombed with their inhabitants inside, In any case, targeting 72 buildings directly and striking them with no warning cannot be excused as a mistake. Israel TARGETS CIVILIANS. * +
