The use of advanced missile technology in warfare has raised significant ethical concerns, particularly in the context of civilian casualties in Gaza. Reports indicate that Israeli forces have increasingly relied on guided missiles, including American-made GBU-31 and GBU-39, in their military operations, leading to devastating impacts on the local population. These missile systems, designed for precision strikes, have been criticized for their use against civilian targets, resulting in severe injuries and fatalities among non-combatants.
The recent assassinations of journalists in Gaza by Israeli drones have sparked outrage and calls for accountability. The tragic deaths of Al Jazeera correspondents Ismail Al-Ghoul and Rami Al-Rifi, who were targeted while documenting the aftermath of violence, highlight the dangers faced by journalists in conflict zones. The implications of these actions extend beyond immediate casualties, raising questions about press freedom and the protection of journalists in armed conflicts.
