    Where did they get those homes?

    Do you have any actual criteria for that stat? I don't either but I know I've seen enough videos of families removed at gun point from their homes, enough for a few lifetimes.

    Hell, the attacks on Al Asqa is more than enough proof that they're not simply building homes on land they own, but are acting as a violent invading force.

    but in the vast majority of cases Israeli operations don’t intend to harm civilians.

    That is categorically untrue. What do you think the intention of bombing the Gaza strip is? The population density there is too high for precision airstrikes to be a possibility. What do you think Israeli settlers stealing the homes of Palestinians is? Israel has bombed the offices of journalists and killed them before. How is that not intending to harm civilians. Just because Israel uses the cloak of plausible deniability and fancy language to say that they don't target civilians, it doesn't make it true.

    You mean like when apartment towers, hospitals, schools, water treatment plants, media offices, etc. in the Gaza Strip get leveled? Also, what are the Israeli secret service doing in the Oliver Tambo Airport all the way in Johannesburg for the past 15 years?
