Army says the officer involved acted according to procedures and open-fire rules, after he was caught in a riot in which rocks were thrown at his vehicle. Thinking they were Palestinian, the officer said he fired three shots into the air

Yep, apparently 'the air' is code for 'a Palestinian' if used in the context of shooting at something. In Gaza they're killing scores of people at food distribution sites with 'warning shots'.

just like the time they shoot three Israeli hostages, who were naked, hands up, waving a white flag, being for help in Hebrew, because the idf thought those begging naked men were Palestinian

I'm convinced the majority of civilian deaths on Oct 7 were also caused by the IDF. There's the tank that shot a house full of hostages, and the Apaches obliterating basically every car that tried to leave the Nova festival. There's a reason the Israeli's never published a breakdown of who got killed and how.

they started the genocide to avoid any investigation in what I believe is the greatest military failure in human history.

a handful of guys, crossed what is likely the most surveilled and militarised border in the world, took down a military base, entered deep enough to reach civilian areas, took hostages. it took the military 7 hours to respond (Israel os tiny, I could have driven from is furthest point a d be there earlier), helicopters were shooting at a mass of people saying they can't distinguish the terrorists from the Israelis and emptied their magazines anyway. they bombed their own bases, they sent tanks and blew up buildings with Israelis hiding...

I doubt any other historical military fuckup reaches this scale. especially considering that the I "D" F, is supposed to be one of the best trained, equipped, and prepared militaries in the world, and even Egypt warned them about the attack.
