knowing that IDF would mistake the running crowds for Hamas.
Hamas tricked us by knowing we're colossal morons who would happily shoot crowds of people running from what we describe as a terrorist attack
they exploited our bad AI, no fair!
Israel doing its own 9/11 while blaming the party it funded so that it could kill more of the hostages it let them take is 
. So many layers to this cosmic display of dumbassery.
Did this story get picked up anywhere?
edit: the story is apparently from October 15th but it does align with what the survivors were saying at the time
tricked people into running
people would never... run in a warzone?
if they run, they're hamas
if they don't run, they're well-disciplined hamas

You're Right. It's literally Full Metal Jacket reasoning.
If they surrender, believe it or not, Hamas.
they literally flew in and shot everything that moved
And some of the stuff that didn't move!
posting your own Ls with the shittiest excuses imaginable jfc
at this point there's a seed of doubt in my mind that hamas even did much on october 7th, i wouldn't be surprised if half the kill count was idf friendly fire
I'll wait ten minutes for you to edit in an NSFW and cw for combat footage before removing this
lemmy really needs tools for mods to add NSFW tags themselves
that'd be really nice indeed
done and done.. i think.. is that the kind of tag you mean ?
yeah you did great kid
Why are they even posting this? The disregard they show for their own people is staggering. At this point Hamas can shout Boo and kill more people than any rocket. They have learned the Weirding ways.
the Air Force is convinced that if it weren't for the aid fire and the many attacks carried out by IDF helicopter gunships that day - the carnage would have been much greater.
this underneath video of the idf spraying a crowd of fleeing settlers with 20mm autocannon ???
the US actually saved lives by nuking Japan
After the pilots realized that there was tremendous difficulty in distinguishing within the occupied outposts and settlements who was a terrorist and who was a soldier or civilian, a decision was made that the first mission of the combat helicopters and the armed Zik drones was to stop the flow of terrorists and the murderous mob that poured into Israeli territory through the gaps in the fence. 28 combat helicopters fired over the course of a day The fighting all the ammunition in their stomachs, in rearming rounds. These are hundreds of 30 mm cannon shells (the effect of a spray grenade for each shell) as well as the Hellfire missiles. The rate of fire against the thousands of terrorists was tremendous at first, and only at a certain point did the pilots begin to slow down the attacks and carefully select the targets.
The Hamas army, it turns out, deliberately made it difficult for the helicopter pilots and the operators of the UAVs: in the investigation it became clear that the invading forces were asked in the last briefings to walk slowly into the settlements and outposts or within them, and under no circumstances to run, in order to make the pilots think they were Israelis. This deception worked for a considerable time , until the Apache pilots realized that they had to skip all the restrictions. It was only around 9:00 a.m. that some of them began to spray the terrorists with the cannons on their own, without authorization from superiors.
"Look, we may have killed hundreds of our own civilians, but only because we always err on the side of shooting unarmed and fleeing targets, and since everyone knows that, it means Hamas tricked us presumably, by showing basic discipline and not panicking."
Not exactly the best defense tbh.
could we get a CW: combat footage tag please?
critical support for Israel in their war against Israelis
also like, who the fuck is having a festival in israel now?
posting twice in every thread is turning out not to be a bit
no no. this is from October 7
ah ok. i was about to really double down on "if you go to a fucking concert during a pogrom"
Hamas replied with "IDF season" whenever I declared that it was Hamas season, before reversing it and saying it was Hamas season so that I would be tricked into saying "IDF season" and get my bill blown away with a hunting rifle.
dammit does this mean I can't cheer Hamas for this?

To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
