Israel says drone launched towards Benjamin Netanyahu's house
www.abc.net.au
It is not clear if the house was hit, but a spokesperson says neither the prime minister nor his wife were home at the time.

The Israeli government says a drone has been launched at Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netayahu’s house.

In Gaza, more than 50 people have been killed in several Israeli strikes, including children, in less than 24 hours, according to hospital officials

    Is it though? It seems neither of the H’s claimed responsibility for the drone.

    I saw another article stating it’s a Hezbollah drone.

    Of course Oct 2023 showed that Hamas has no problem targeting civilians as well,

    This doesn’t really matter now as Israeli actions are inexcusable either way, but to be accurate Hamas as an organization didn’t really target civilians during October 7th (unless you’re talking about the hostages, in which case I don’t agree but fair enough). They just seem to be unacceptably lax about their soldiers taking their anger out on civilians, which resulted in, well, all that but if I have my information correctly the targets were military. Now this doesn’t mean Hamas is above targeting civilians in general, because they’re not, but I haven’t seen anything that proves October 7th had “kill a bunch of civilians” as part of the attack plans.

        I mean that was notably not a target because they literally didn’t know it was happening. Still horrible, but nothing preplanned.

        What military target was a peace festival?

        I have the same question. The best I can think of might be that it just happened to be next to or somehow in the way of (along the path to) an actual military target. But then (now responding to the other commenter),

        They just seem to be unacceptably lax about their soldiers taking their anger out on civilians, which resulted in, well, all that

        That is a degree of lax that seems to be almost nonsensical. The soldiers couldn’t hold their focus on the actual military targets and took down an entirely unrelated target instead. That’s like bombing in the wrong city or something, but a gazillion times worse.

        if I have my information correctly the targets were military.

        Plausible and will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that’s right, but would appreciate a citation or reference.

        to be accurate Hamas as an organization didn’t really target civilians during October 7th (unless you’re talking about the hostages,

        I was, in fact.

        in which case I don’t agree

        Why don’t you agree?

        but fair enough).

        I’m glad you can see why myself and others would see things that way.

        I haven’t seen anything that proves October 7th had “kill a bunch of civilians” as part of the attack plans.

        Fair point. I’ll give this - hostages can be returned unharmed, or failing that they can at least be returned alive. So it’s a horrible choice but I’ll give brownie points for the “civilians get to stay alive” one.

        I saw another article stating it’s a Hezbollah drone.

        Gotcha. In that case, I retract my previous statement on the basis of new evidence. (Again, would appreciate a link to said article or a similar one, if you can find it.)
