Usefully for those who say "can't trust Hamas death tolls', the IDF appear to be happy with it

And Palestinians are being thrown out of their homes and villages in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Four people out of a West Bank family of five were murdered by undercover Israeli police as they came back from a shopping trip. Shooting them in the face and head. This includes children of 5 and 7, one of whom was blind and had special needs. The police then dragged the surviving 11 year old out of the car and beat him, taunting him about the murder of his family saying that they had “killed dogs.” The justification was that the undercover police, who were driving a car with Palestinian plates. had “perceived an imminent threat” from the unarmed family and so needed to shoot a blind seven year old in the face.

But I’m sure someone will turn up to say I don’t understand the situation and I’ve got it all wrong.

It's hard to see that as simple overzealous paranoia. Far more consistent with how a death squad would operate.

If the parents were crying and praying before they died but were shot in the head, that was after they had initially been shot.
Have you considered stupidity as an explanation

Nah, no one will be along - this stuff gets ignored, the focus is on what people who dislike this are doing wrong.
