How does Israel's humane army manage to cause only a few hundreds deaths after so many strikes?

The Humane Aspect of anti terror airstrikes in Gaza

How does Israel's humane army manage to cause only a few hundreds deaths (w/ 90% terrorists) after so many strikes in 5 days?

Let's see, 5 days of continues bombardment of (specific terrorists’ targets) - hundreds of air strikes, and only about 400 are dead?

How does the cool and humane Israel army manage to avoid so many casualties, each bombing (coming from that famous “strong Israeli army” which the Arabs keep reminding us) could at least kill a few hundreds if one is not very careful.

This relative success - While the terrible Muslim radicals (Hamas or Hezbollah, etc.) keep tricking in civilians into dying (Let alone the sad fact of “densely populated” Gaza), especially little kids, for the goal of appearing as “victims” and tarnishing Israeli who is in fact the only party in the entire neighborhood that couldn't care less about image but about saving lives, on both sides.

Yet, all the biased CNN, BBC can talk about is: "civilians" deaths.

Pinpoint accuracy, superior intel, general competence, and a commitment to target only the bad guys.

American munitions usually are more precise.

The Mossad is arguably the best intelligence agency on earth.

The terrorist groups are really quite stupid.

People without a historic perspective don't realize how precise modern "smart" munitions are compared to (for instance) WW2 air-delivered bombs. Most of the bombs from a B17 raid wouldn't hit within a mile of their target.

Once upon a time, sophisticated, civilized people just didn't care about civilian casualties. We firebombed Tokyo. We laid waste to Dresden. Tens of thousands of civilian casualties were nothing to worry about.

Now, Israel (or the US) can target enemies with pinpoint accuracy and almost never kill "an innocent" -- but the press will howl about it.

But hey, strap on a bunch of explosives and blow up women and children at the supermarket, and they compare you to George Washington and his fight for freedom.

If each successful anti terror operation (we the US does...) would get a medal for it - The ACLU wouldn't be able to count them.
