Israel's Operation in Gaza: A New Level in Precision Fighting
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Katz - It is one thing to know the building terrorists are in; it is another to pinpoint the apartment and the room in which they are sleeping. This was evident from the images of the different targeted strikes. One building showed a blown-out apartment on the ground floor; another on the top floor on just one corner. In one case, a team of IDF engineers carefully studied the inside walls of an apartment to assess exactly how the rubble will fall when a missile flies through the house. Their assessment was that children sleeping in a nearby room would be okay. They were. While the IDF bombed over 700 targets in Gaza, Gaza health officials reported 33 dead. At least half of those killed were terrorists and the IDF has most of the names to prove it. When looking at the way wars are fought today, the low ratio of civilians killed is simply not seen in any other conflict.
