    Okay, city fighting is messy…

    Except the second item on the list,

    https://edition.cnn.com/gaza-israel-big-bombs

    Israel is using 2000lbs bombs in Gaza, using hundreds of them. These are not, in any way, targeted strikes. They kill civilians by the dozens.

    In 20 years of war, the US only ever used 500lbs bombs in urban environments. Even that was often barbaric in the amount of collateral damage caused.

    Also, are you calling the fucking Battle of Mosula frozen conflict?

    That was some of the bloodiest fighting in the entire war, all of it urban. There were fewer children killed in the entire 9 months than there have been killed in 3 in Gaza. And not by a small amount.
