    I wonder if they will go for the jugular, like attacking refineries, power plants, ports and perhaps the seat of goverment, or if they will limit it to military targets only. Although if they go for the economic targets things could escalate a lot more than if they only attack a few military bases.

      Energy and infrastructure are a mission critical to the military. Destroying power plants, communications and transportation contributes massively to reducing the combat effectiveness of your opponent. We want say they aren’t valid targets because citizens rely on them, but that’s about as valid as saying Israel bombs hospitals because terrorists are hiding in there. When the entire society is organized to be a death machine run by its citizens, attacking anything that stops that machine becomes legitimizable.

        First they take out food, water, power, etc. and bomb the fuck out of civilians. When those civilians retreat to the only places they can reasonably believe to be safe, hospitals, mosques, schools, for shelter or treatment then the IOF bombs them.

        Just first bombing the hospitals would be barbarism. Israel took it to the next level of evil-ass shit and first ensures the hospitals are overwhelmed with refugees and patients before it bombs them.
