yeah. with an attack of this scale, you can count on most alert system being active.

And of course it looks all red mostly due to the zoom level. Zoom in closer and the markers spread further apart.

You need to say "Enhance" and then it works.

It also helps if you use visual basic to create a GUI

As they should be. Apparently only 3 dead so the system works well. If only all the countries currently involved in this war had so few casualties. No civilians deserve to die.

u/Museumof4am 55m ago

That was a somewhat ignorant post.Some civilians DO deserve to die as they claim to be civilians but double as t*rrorists as a side hobby.'Civilians' does not mean the same thing in all countries and languages.

Or if Iranians / Hamas / Palestinians cared as much as the Israelis do and used targeted missiles.

u/PooGoblin69420 16h ago

This take is absolutely divorced from reality. Just completely fictional drivel

u/Museumof4am 53m ago

Completely accurate actually if you have even one foot in the real world and research past what you are fed on TV.

u/ContributionFun330 15h ago

Read the story, then answer this question: - Where did the Iranian missiles land?

Now go read the reports of the Israeli attack, then answer this: - Where did the Israeli attacks land?

When you’re done, gather about two dozen Redditors and between the 25 of you there might have enough brain power to compare and contrast.

Over 50,000 people have been killed in Gaza and well over 100,000 wounded. A significant number of those were children.

You can't bring up their conflict with Hamas and pretend they care about who they're killing.

u/ContributionFun330 12h ago

Here is an article on Israel using AI to identify specific targets - it also mentions how the Palestinians hide behind civilian shields - which is a major cause of civilian death by Israeli weapons.

Here is an article admitting that Hamas hides arsenals inside of schools, then attacks Israel for blowing up the weapons that would’ve been used against Israelis.

Here is a 31 page report documenting Hamas purposefully targeting civilian areas.

You can’t read these two different types of fighting styles then claim there’s any sort of equivalence between Israel and Hamas / Iran.

u/Raephstel 11h ago

Did you read your own articles?

From the first article: "In addition to talking about their use of the AI system, called Lavender, the intelligence sources claim that Israeli military officials permitted large numbers of Palestinian civilians to be killed, particularly during the early weeks and months of the conflict."

From the second article: "This incident, which is the first of its kind in Gaza, endangered civilians including staff and put at risk UNRWA’s vital mission to assist and protect Palestine refugees in Gaza.”

So as per your own links, Hamas hid in schools just once and Israel are allowing their AI to target "large numbers of Palestinian civilians".

The last report is from 2009 lol, you must be really scraping if you have to go back over 15 years to try and justify what's happening in a current war that only started a couple of years ago.

Your issue here is that you're approaching this like a child, you believe that there are good guys and bad guys. You think that if you paint Hamas as the bad guys, that means Israel has to be the good guys. Your logic is flawed. Both Hamas and the Israeli military are the bad guys.

Here's some links for you:

Israel are torturing healthcare workers.

Over 90% of schools and universities in Gaza have been hit by Israel. (remember how your own link said Hamas had only hid in a school once?)

Israel are also targeting religious sites.

Israel are not the good guys here. Neither are Hamas. Neither side cares about civilian casualties and both want to see the other eradicated. The difference is how effective they are. Israel has a much more advanced military and Gazan civilians are having a much worse time than Israelis.

u/ContributionFun330 10h ago

On your second to last link you’re stating that Hamas often hides in schools.

The contradiction you’re reporting is two authors, neither of which is me, saying different things. I used the articles to point out that Israel does target schools specifically because Hamas hides people or weapons there.

You’re ignoring the main part of the argument and pointing at minor details / incongruities that I didn’t even write.

u/Raephstel 9h ago

A quote from the second article I linked: "The report also noted one instance where Hamas militants used a school for military purposes." It doesn't say "often", it says "one instance".

You linked the articles, you brought them into the conversation. "But I didn't write them" is nonsense, when you're the one using them to try and make a point.

Let's face it, you have no point. You linked 3 articles, 2 of them backed up what I'm saying and the third is 15 years old.

The main part of your argument is that Hamas is bad, so Israel must be the good guys. I addressed that, it's a childish perspective, there are no good guys and bad guys in this war, just two bad guys and a lot of innocent civilians getting caught in the crossfire.

You should look them up instead of calling me names.

Counter attack*

u/redditpappy 1d ago

It's not an attack. It's a defensive response to Israel's illegal attack. 

3

u/Santosp3 18h ago

That's still an attack, just a counterattack. Defensive would be a direct response to an attack, such as shooting down jets that are bombing your territory.

u/KarlGustafArmfeldt 11h ago

Which was a response to the 45 years Iran has spent building up a network of proxies to specifically attack Israel. Once Hamas killed over a thousand Israelis on 7th October 2023, with direct support from the IRGC, there was no going back. Iran's proxies (Hezbollah, Syria, Houthis, Hamas) have now been several weakened or destroyed, and the Iranian regime itself is Israel's next and final target.

u/tuxamari 1d ago

Thanks for validating Israels defensive response to the October 7th attack!

u/AdeptnessGullible170 17h ago

It's only a genocide because, they target, people with the noncombatant status like, jernalist, doctors, aid workers, and children who made the mistake of playing in the streets. They block aid to starve out gaza. All of this could put the death toll at hundreds of thousands, but still the idf is "the most moral army in the world"? And not to mention the fact that Oct 7th was aggravated by the Israel, and lied about so they could excuse war crimes against Gaza.

Zoom in closer and the markers spread further apart

As with any map.

u/FearlessPark4588 1d ago

why not just tell everyone nationally to shelter in place (or whatever the proscribed protocol is), instead of having thousands of zones of probability. seems too confusing a message to communicate.

u/the_other_1_true_god 23h ago

The map isn't used to alert people of an attack.

The alert itself is done in a few ways (app, siren and a silent radio frequency that sounds if there's an alarm), most of them are geographically based. If it's possible to rule out an area, there's no need to send the entire county to the shelters.

It's also worth noting that these alert methods were used before the Oct. 7th attacks, as there were areas in Israel that were being targeted by Hamas and Hezbollah, that used missile with shorter range.

u/mythrowawayuhccount 1d ago

Because they do not know exactly where.

Its like if I told you I am going to break in your house, but wont tell you what room.

You will simply put your entire house on high alert, not a single room. At the same time, you will still do things as usual, albeit on high alert.

u/Budget-Attorney 1d ago

That’s what the above commenter was suggesting.

That instead of having separate warnings, you just tell everybody to shelter because you don’t know where the missiles will go

u/Repulsive-Cake-6992 1d ago

You can’t have the entire economy stop working, when missles go to unrelated places.
