    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    No military fighting an entrenched enemy in dense urban terrain in an area barely twice the size of Washington D.C. can avoid all civilian casualties.

    The Israeli Defense Force has used many types of PGMs to avoid civilian harm, including the use of munitions like small diameter bombs (SDBs), as well as technologies and tactics that increase the accuracy of non-PGMs.

    By contrast, Israel provided days and then weeks of warnings, as well as time for civilians to evacuate multiple cities in northern Gaza before starting the main air-ground attack of urban areas.

    Israel has dropped over 520,000 pamphlets, and broadcast over radio and through social media messages to provide instruction for civilians to leave combat areas.

    The IDF also conducted daily four-hour pauses over multiple consecutive days of the war to allow civilians to leave active combat areas.

    Despite the unique challenges Israel faces in its war against Hamas, it has implemented more measures to prevent civilian casualties than any other military in history.


    The original article contains 1,313 words, the summary contains 165 words. Saved 87%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      I mean, it could have been shortened to “lol yeah sorry about the deaths, but that’s just warfare bro” but that would be a little too facetious.

      Yes, collateral damage and loss of life is always a risk that can’t be mitigated in this scenario, but it’s hard to accept that over the course of nearly four fucking months.

      I do need to get hold of that journo though. If he gives out handjobs like he’s jacking the IDF off with that story, I’ll be turned off women for life.
