There is this contrast between the strikes on the WCK vehicles and the Iranian embassy. The strike on the embassy was precision. It killed only those targeted. The strikes in Gaza were, giving the benefit of the doubt, careless. A retired official who used to take part in planning these sorts of strikes described the team that handled the Iranian strike as seasoned veterans taking an action with months of planning, whereas the strikes in Gaza were performed by relative novices, likely tired and without as much prior planning.

That person explained the difference in tactics in that manner. While this makes sense and goes towards it being unintentional, it also explains why so many civilians, journalists, and aid workers have been killed by Israel during this.

If everything about the workers route being pre-planned and approved is true and they still "made a mistake" because of the less seasoned team that says a lot about how prepared Israel is for a war.  

WCK is saying they believe an Israeli sniper fired at them earlier too.

I still say Netanyahu doesn't care one iota about killing civilians while this is going on.  This all falls back on him from his propping up of Hamas, to ignoring warnings about the October attack to everything that has happened since.

And I'm aware that Hamas doesn't either. That doesn't make either side right.

And one can say unintentional or intentional it's still bad and will not stop.
