CAIRO, May 28 (Reuters) - Israeli tanks shelled a tent camp in an evacuation area west of Rafah and killed at least 21 people on Tuesday, Gaza health authorities said, while advancing to the heart of the southern Gaza city for the first time after a night of heavy bombardment. Two days after an Israeli airstrike on another camp stirred global condemnation, Gaza emergency services said four tank shells hit a cluster of tents in Al-Mawasi, a coastal strip that Israel had advised civilians in Rafah to move to for safety.

      Isn’t it obvious? There is a certain probability, which may or may not be equal to zero, that there was a terrorist there. Therefore, the children who might be nearby are accomplices of terrorism, therefore terrorists, therefore valid targets. They are just killing terrorists, so why are people complaining?

      I really hope it is not necessary but, just in case: /s

        Tanks roll in and the net number of terrorists goes up instantaneously. And no, I don’t mean radicalizing children. Fragging COs would have better anti-terrorist outcomes.

      This feels like the scene in Mars Attacks when the Martians were carrying around the translator saying “we come in peace” and “Stop, come back, I’m you’re friend” while blasting the shit out of people.
