The IDF takes extensive precautionary measures to prevent harm to civilians. The IDF operates in compliance with international law."

They've killed unarmed people, including children, who were waving white flags of surrender, which is a war crime. Their snipers have openly murdered children. They've reduced schools, hospitals, transportation and health infrastructure, and most of Gaza itself to rubble. The IDF is an army of war criminals and terrorists who've been livestreaming their atrocities for over a year and a half--the media should stop quoting them as if they're a reliable source for anything.
