"JERUSALEM: The Israeli army has released what it says is a page from a seized Hamas training manual that would appear to support its case that Palestinian militants deliberately use the cover of residential areas for combat operations."

What proportion of the 360sq.km. Gaza Strip, with its now rather less than the previous 1.7 million people, is NOT residential BB?

Almost half of its total area is within the border strip razed to the ground and rendered uninhabitable by the IDF.

When the IDF orders civilians to leave an area, where exactly can they go to be safe?

How many civilians do you lot think Israel is justified in slaughtering in order to kill one militant? 10?.....100?......1000?.....or maybe just keep going till there's none left? After all, they would then feel safe, or would they?

Who's next? Jordan?......Syria?.......another pop at Lebanon?........or (God forbid) Iran?

After all, they have to find employment for their vast stock of US weaponry!
