Original Note:
"This is a war on children" is a blood libel and identifiably false. IDF and Israel have been very clear in their war objective - ending Hamas' rule. Direct hits are a result of Hamas using schools for military purposes which leads to a loss of protected status. https://www.britannica.com/topic/blood-libel https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/israels-war-aims-and-principles-post-hamas-administration-gaza https://www.icrc.org/en/document/students-teachers-and-schools-should-always-be-protected-armed-conflict#:~:text=The%20Protection%20of%20education%20during,%2C%20teachers%2C%20and%20their%20schools. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.unicef.org/ukraine/media/1531/file/Schools%2520in%2520armed%2520conflict.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiFo-r5xqCFAxVmUkEAHRKVBjsQFnoECCIQAQ&usg=AOvVaw33_aBzqAHm9jPHXxnpVWK8 - p16
