The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit has uploaded a video which shows how the IDF calls off Gaza airstrikes upon realizing that there are innocent civilians in the area.
In this video, showing a planned airstrike from Thursday, the airstrike was cancelled when the pilot realized that children were near his target.
During the current escalation, Hamas has openly boasted about the "success" of its strategy of using civilians as human shields, and the IDF has published extensive evidence of the practice.
Hamas has been encouraging as many noncombatants as possible to "protect" its positions with their bodies.

HIT the target
Only cowards hide behind children.
I would think anything in the Gaza Strip is the target.
Tru dat
The general population of Gaza must pay for those they allow to rule them.
I would apply the same calculation here, based on the current administrations record.
You can’t win a war like this. And where is the psychology. Hit all the targets and when the media accuses Israel of killing children, instead of trying to explain that Hamas uses children as shields, say in a sneering tone that Hamas has to learn that they make poor body armor or missile armor. If the world does scream much louder than usual, at least that means at least they are out of their typical Jew hating comfort zone.
Hamas WANTS dead children. Sick warfare. NOT war. Just sick
Has none heard anything about Hamas trying to use a nuclear weapon? I got an email about that but did not go into any details.
They will face these children as combatants in a few years.
The Arabs in Gaza voted for Hamas; the Germans did not vote for Hitler (he was appointed reichskanzler by von Papen). This is not to say the we shouldn't have bombed Germany as we did, but that Israel should bomb Gaza even worse than what was done to Germany. I suspect the people in Gaza now are more evil than the Germans were back then.
Hit the damned targets. All of them. Defend yourselves You’re not running a stupid kindergarten. Grumph! The jooos are so intelligent about almost everything except self- defense and winning wars.
........if I’m an Israeli pilot I too would not drop bombs KNOWINGLY and INTENTIONALLY on kids running around on a playground or yard of “dad the terrorist’s house” below. I don’t think but maybe a handful of Freepers would either.
That said, blasting this video world wide seems ludicrous. Now the insect jihadis will quadruple their efforts to get kids out playing everywhere they can.
Stepping way back from the forest and then taking a good look we all know that kids are going to get hurt in a war. Period.
Many of those children are armed combatants. If the situation isn’t taken care of today, Israel will have double and triple the problem tomorrow.
So they hit Wal Mart?
IDF Spokespersons has their own unit??
