The IDF's Spectacular Precision
(JNS) James J. Marlow - The 2021 Gaza War may have been the most targeted and accurate precision-bombing campaign ever facilitated by any military, anywhere, in the history of conflict and war. In response to massive rocket fire, the IDF targeted more than 1,000 sites across Gaza with complex surgical strikes. Targets included terrorist command centers or bases for Hamas and Islamic Jihad commandos, multi-barrel rocket launchers, underground steel bunkers, and tunnels in the heart of Gaza's civilian districts. In retaliation for the bombardment of its cities, Israel could have killed thousands of Gazans. But because the IDF does so much to prevent the death of innocents, the number of civilian Palestinian casualties remained relatively low.
