You really do.

I agree with you that there isn't enough care given to the civilians in the targeted areas. I agree with you that excuses for actions shouldn't be changing every two minutes.

I didn't want to try and make this an issue about whether or not the Israeli side was proven or not. Really I wanted to try and get alternative scenarios for dealing with the presented/percieved problem.


Following one of the premises of your post. If we treat the civilians in the area as hostages, then yes I agree that indescriminate bombing, not a good idea. If it was me, I'd want special ops boots on the ground. If there is launcher there, then it needs to be painted with a laser from a visual cue on the ground. That way, there isn't a chance of the building being hit. Assuming the bombs are capable of being that accurate. If there are operators running into the building, they need to be sniped. Not the building bombed. That would be my tactic. Of course, I'm about as much an expert on tactics as I am on the difference between rocket launchers and anti-aircraft guns.
