Israel at War
The world seems to be against Israel.
The media is for sure...
The media is for sure...
Ralph Peters tells about it in the New York Post:
"Despite the frankly anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish reporting of this conflict in the global media, Israel's military performance not only has been technically superb, but has been as humane as possible under such difficult circumstances.
From earlier briefings in Israel, I know the IDF takes an almost absurd degree of care in its targeting. The questioning doesn't stop with 'Is that the right building?' it then asks, 'What should be our angle of attack to ensure any rubble falls into the street, not atop the primary school next door?' (Hamas consistently embeds terror facilities among innocent civilians.)
Hitting a terrorist hideout in an apartment building, for example, an F-16 would be armed with the smallest warhead that could do the job. If the terrorists are tucked into rooms on the fourth floor, targeting officers evaluate which window the guided missile should go through to kill the terrorists, while minimizing harm to civilians living below."
