It wouldn't have zero trade of they invested it in their infrastructure instead of spending it all on attacking Israel.

Yeah just people trying to keep themselves safe in that land ~they~ their ancestors took that did not belong to them.

1948 was a long time ago.

You can't when they're not at the front. And as long as the c&c infrastructure exists, sending troops on the ground to take objectives is difficult.

Taking out control infrastructure with remote bombing has been a thing since the first artillery pieces.

Because it's still relevant. Gaza is getting more than enough aid to build a future. They're squandering it.

Do you have a better source, or an explanation for why this agency would lie?

$750M in aid just from the UNWRA per year from 2017 to 2021. That's enough to rebuild their airport every single year. That's enough to coat the 23 mile spine with Ground Light Rail. That was enough to bring fiber Internet to every household in Gaza.

They're poor because their squandering massive amounts of aid. Can you imagine how much good that aid would do in Haiti?

See the blown up hospital

The one Palestinian forced blew up? That's still standing?

9 casualties does not scream indiscriminate. Additionally the other example has 48 Hezbolla members and 4 civilians listed as casualties which also doesn't scream indiscriminate.

Gaza gets more than enough aid to build that sort of a future for it's people. We're talking billions of dollars of consistent aid for a population of about 2M. Just the UNWRA from 2014-2021 averaged $750M/yr of aid and the PA injected a further $1.7B in salary for non-working government employees living in the strip. That's enough to rebuild the Gazan airport every year. With that money they could have coated the strip with Ground Light Rail. They could have expanded the Commercial Port in Gaza City. In three years they could have built out fiber to every household in the strip.
