According to officers of the Israeli military’s Southern Command, the shelling was aimed at maintaining order at food distribution sites, but the army has since shifted to “other methods.”

Also notice how the long distance, chaotic distribution, and heavy aid boxes force families to self-select their strongest person, who would also be most able to put up a fight to defend their family. Then the IDF is gunning them down when they’re in the chute, leaving starving women and children that are easily disposed of.
artillery fire as a method of crowd control?
Translation error, I think the actual term was “blowing up starving civilians”
I don’t see what the big deal is.
I regularly launch artillery strikes on the local food bank to make sure everything is orderly and safe.
… “inaccurate and uncalculated” artillery fire.
They only meant to drop shells near the aid stations, to keep the bad guys away. Gazans should make quantum leaps from where they are to inside the aid stations, without passing through the space near the aid stations. Duh.
What in the parabolic FUCK are they talking about?! Beyond being a nauseating atrocity, the IDF statement is c/noncredibledefense levels of war-as-satire. There is no stockade big enough. The common 120mm mortar has a lethal radius of 30m from the point of impact, and has been given a 10% probability of ‘incapacitation’ at 100m. A common M795 155m high explosive howitzer shell will generally have a ‘kill radius’ of 50m, with fragmentation spreading significantly further.
In Freedom Units, if one of those 155s hit the middle of a football field, everyone on the field is dead, and everyone in the stadium catches shrapnel.

The shelling was aimed at maintaining order
My god this makes my brain hurt from the dissonance. Pigs

Ah yes, the shelling of a desperate crowd to bring order. Makes sense… /s
Why do they need guns? They are starving, is that not evil enough?
Not evil enough for the idf
