‘Roof Knocking’: The Israeli Military’s Tactic Of Phoning Palestinians It Is About To Bomb -- Washington Post
What happens before the Israeli military bombs your house? For many Gaza Strip residents, it's a phone call. Sawsan Kawarea, a resident of Khan Younis, said she was in the house Tuesday when the phone rang. She answered, and on the other side was “David," who claimed he was with the Israeli military.
“He asked for me by name. He said: ‘You have women and children in the house. Get out. You have five minutes before the rockets come,’ ” Kawarea said in an interview with The Post's William Booth.
She took her children and ran outside. A small rocket hit the house soon after, Kawarea said. It was apparently the final warning. Five minutes later, a larger missile hit, and the house was destroyed. According to Hamas, seven people, including three minors, were killed in the Israeli airstrike. The man the Israelis were aiming for was apparently not among those killed.

Just goes to show, no other army in the world would give up the element of surprise just to safeguard civilians.
Tragically, civilians are still being killed and it breaks my heart as it would any human being.
If the IDF truly wanted to take the gloves off and destroy Gaza then the civilian infrastructure would be deliberately targeted. They would switch the Electricity off as Israel supplies 60% of their supply.
It could also stop supplying fuel and water and everything else...
Crazy to think that whilst Hamas is targeting Israeli citizens, Jews & Arabs alike, as well as Jerusalem, allegedly the third holiest site in Islam, you have the IDF supplying Gaza the following goods today:
"The IDF’s Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) transfers humanitarian supplies to Gaza — namely, some 690 tons of liquefied petroleum gas; 513,000 liters of gasoline; 934,150 liters of diesel fuel; and 5,000 tons of basic food products including flour, wheat, rice, oil, sugar, meat and dairy products, it says."
Remembering that Gaza is not surrounded by Israel and in fact shares a border with Egypt - what has Egypt transferred to Gaza - their fellow Muslim brothers???
