CNN has reported that Israel’s Mossad headquarters are located in a “densely populated area” in Tel Aviv, posing risks to civilians during Iran’s attack.

“The concern is if your firing, even though Iran might consider that a military target, it is in a densely populated city with civilians around it," CNN reported.

The remarks raised questions on social media on why West did not accuse the intelligence agency of using Israeli civilians as “human shields”, as they claim Hamas and Hezbollah do.

    I mean this itself isn’t a problem, because who the fuck builds their headquarters in the middle of nowhere? But it’s ironic given they keep crying about Hamas headquarters being in residential areas (again, who builds their headquarters in the middle of nowhere).

    Because they never thought people would attack it. When it was built, attacks were bombs on busses, not hypersonic missles shot from Iran.

        Those children weren’t civilians, they were potential combatants. Whose to say they wouldn’t have grown up to become militants?

        Also observing that Israel murders children is anti-semitic. Haven’t you ever heard of the black legend?

        EDIT: Those children were probably anti-semites who died on purpose so the IDF could be accused of being baby killers.

          There are certainly criticisms to be made of it, but characterizing them as “the bad guys” in a conflict with Israel because they do [thing Israel has been known for for decades] is either sarcasm or rank stupidity
