The genocide is still ongoing and many things are still developing in Palestine, but we are removing the limitation on only posting things related to the operation Flood of Al-Aqsa to this thread, you can now freely post over Lemmygrad again.
Please don’t stop talking about Palestine.
Due to popular demand, please keep all posts about the operation to this megathread, sitewide.
Honestly- OK, and? Who cares about a random settler being alive or not? (Not trying to be rude, I do appreciate your updates, I’m just failing to see the relevance of this particular one.)

I have no sympathies for settlers. The problem is, i am not sure she is a settler, she may have simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time. I sympathize with her if this was the case but i will also say that she probably should never have been there in the first place. You don’t go as a tourist to have fun and party in a military occupation and conflict zone, which is what all of occupied Palestine is. Also, unfortunately, unintended collateral damage - for all that this term has been abused by the US and used as an excuse for deliberate and conscious murder of civilians - does happen in war sometimes. War is never going to be perfectly sanitized. Human beings are not perfect and they make mistakes or have lapses in judgement. And all armies are going to have individual bad actors, more so in less formally structured/disciplined guerilla forces.
It’s particularly true when you consider that even professional armies struggle with this: when your adrenal glands are all pumped up, your ability to distinguish friend from civilian or for gets greatly diminished. We saw that in the IOF friendly fire incidents yesterday.
