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.

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

The same way we do, as described by Mr Mojo.

Precise warrior ethics!!!

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

THE REAL QUESTION....Why does Israel still not control one inch of Gaza after 5 days when it beat the whole arab world in just 6 days ....FORTY YEARS AGO!
