They were literally running out of missiles and getting resupplied several times each just on the night of the 7th/8th. The epitome of "so anyway, I started blasting"

Also bullets, of course. They basically burned through all their ammo without "choosing targets carefully" for hours.

Worth noting, the bullets are of such a high caliber and traveling at such a high velocity that the impact of each one is roughly similar to the shockwave of a hand grenade

They're also high-explosive, not just slugs.

That would be the hand grenade bit then.

how could hamas do this

It's making me wonder if Israeli gunships actually killed more civilians than Hamas did, and that a big cover-up of that is happening.

Given what we know of what did happen on the day, how well executed & precise the attack was, how vicious & undiscerning the retribution since, I've no doubt at all that the massacre at the festival was at the hands of the idf.

the highway of death at home be like:

Yeah. Like... they just straight up admitted that their own pilots where strafing the festival with 30mm while tanks were blasting Israeli residential homes with HE.

Before seeing this photo gun to my head I would have guessed 50/50 Hamas and IDF. After this picture I’m comfortably in the 5/95 range.

I am so bewildered about what went on there. It’s too many cars to be collateral damage. And I seriously doubt hamas would have been this focused on cars. Which really just leaves the possibility that IDF was… just trying to annihilate as many cars as possible? Idk. Super fucking weird.

The only thing I can think of is that they all caught fire and burned, idk.
