Israel is not pretending to get involved; they sent personnel who helped remove people from the rubble.
Your warcrimes comment is not fact based; so I feel nothing about that.
In conclusion 1) israel sent this team and they did help 2) how can i possibly know the intent, all we can see is the action, and it is help.
Have you seen IDF actions in Gaza?
Have you seen Hamas' work in Gaza: https://news.yahoo.com/gaza-city-blast-kills-1-091252256.htm...
Jimmy - since I cant reply to your comment below:
No this is not about hamas, but neither was this about Gaza. This was about rescuing people from a collapsed building. Yet here we are.
Is the thread about Hamas? Or is it a try to change the subject?
seconds later the scope has become "everything israel does is wrong, look at gaza, something something apartheid"
Everyone here is so smart and inquisitive, but when the issue is middle east the gang seems to take a shallow, dogmatic take on something they absolutely do not understand. For so many independent thinkers there's a lot of knee jerk group think
And China. And American foreign policy. And anything related to or that even mentions sex, gender or race. And the media. And economics. And COVID. And RMS. This place is legendary for its aggressively ignorant and toxic hot takes on just about everything but technology[0], especially if it requires empathy, emotional reasoning or an understanding of mainstream society.

That I doubt very much. In my opinion we are seeing a clear on going colonization effort. This is not about religion or race, but about land and the rest is a distraction.
Because we are not in the eighteen century anymore, it can't be done old European style, so it has to be done boiling frog style with a lot of spending in public relations.
The crude fact is that land is being taken by the strongest party:

I have not doubt that the IDF did great, but you have to recognize that this article reads like a puff piece.
Or "1 shot 2 kills" military tshirts for killing pregnant Palestnian women? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7960071.stm

Another question: do fighting nations generally supply electricity, medicine and water to entities raining missles down on their civilians indiscriminately?

"Transfers of fuel for the power plant were stopped by Israel during the Gaza War in May 2021 and resumed by the end of June."
>Defensive removal of rocket infrastructure seems ok.
That's offensive removal of rockets, iron dome is defensive removal of (flying) rockets.
Not fact based? I don't know how anyone can possibly deny what Israel is doing is literally war crimes par excellence.
Illegally occupying and settling foreign land? Bombing civilians? Open air prison? Multiple armed attacks in foreign countries like Iran and Iraq?
The UN, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, among the authorities on human rights and war crimes agree with that.
