Iraq veteran, a former officer in the Marines and an "urban warfare expert" John Spencer argues that #Israel has taken unprecedented measures to avoid civilian casualties in its current conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
Spencer details the many warnings, safe corridors, pauses in fighting, and precision munitions Israel uses to protect civilians, even when that may hinder its military objectives. He contends no military has ever gone to such lengths to prevent civilian harm, and that Hamas is fully to blame for endangering and exploiting #Gaza's civilian population.
Spencer concludes Israel cannot be reasonably accused of indifference to civilian casualties given its historic efforts to enable their evacuation and avoid collateral damage.
