    Israeli forces have already released explanations regarding these strikes to the press:

    First strike:

    An Israel Defense Forces statement said the strike on Jabalia, Gaza’s largest refugee camp, had killed Ibrahim Biari. It said he was a ringleader of what it called the “murderous terror attack” on Oct. 7.

    Second strike:

    The Israeli military said its fighter jets struck a Hamas command and control complex in Jabalia “based on precise intelligence,” killing the head of the Islamist group’s anti-tank missile unit, Muhammad A’sar.
    “Hamas deliberately builds its terror infrastructure under, around and within civilian buildings, intentionally endangering Gazan civilians,” an Israeli statement said.

    It seems like the US wants some press showing they are concerned, I would be surprised if they didn’t already know exactly what is happening and why.

      Oh good, pack it in everyone, the murderers said it was OK that they killed a bunch of innocent people.

        It’s like when bank robbers take a hostage everyone knows the standard protocol is to kill everyone in the building to get them.

          “The Negotiator” would have apparently been a very different movie had it been produced in Israel. I wonder who the recast gets to replace Kevin Spacey?

          Because a bank robbery is just like war between governments…? Collateral damage is a lot more common, normal, and acceptable in war than it is in police actions.
