What about Israeli troops, who are currently fighting street to street, house to house, tunnel to tunnel? How many of them should the Israeli government allow to die in order to lower the risk to Palestinian civilians? This is not an air war. This is a ground war with air support.
I’ve been an infantry squad leader. If I was advancing through an enemy city, and someone opened fire on my men from a house, I would call an airstrike on that house, whether or not I knew whether there were civilians in it. Any squad leader in any army in any war would call an airstrike on that house; hell, Captain America would call an airstrike on that house. That’s the sort of situation we’re dealing with here.
