The Israeli Defense Forces say that they are trying to minimize civilian casualties in the attack on Gaza. Currently, the civilian death rate is about 62%; that's an exceptionally high rate. So, what's going on?
I can only see 4 possibilities.
First, this is the best anyone could do.
Second, they're trying, but just have had bad luck.
Third, they're really trying, but they are just bad at minimizing civilian deaths.
And fourth, they're not trying at all.
