Israel does not indiscriminately bomb Gaza. This claim is disproven by several key facts:

1. Israel takes precautions to minimize civilian casualties, including warning civilians before strikes through phone calls, text messages, and leaflets.
2. Many Palestinian civilian deaths are caused by misfired rockets from Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups. For example, in August 2022, over 20% of rockets fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad landed in Gaza, causing one-third of the 44 deaths recorded.
3. Hamas deliberately places military assets in civilian areas, using civilians as human shields. This tactic increases the risk to Palestinian civilians and complicates Israel’s efforts to avoid civilian casualties.
4. Israel’s military operations target specific Hamas infrastructure, rocket launch sites, and terrorist leaders, not civilians or civilian infrastructure indiscriminately.
5. The presence of Hamas fighters in densely populated areas does not absolve Israel of its obligations under international law, but it does significantly complicate military operations and increase the risk of civilian casualties.
