Since the uptick in settler violence Israeli state forces have been right there backing them up.

As people, including many displaced Palestinians, in Jordan rush the border with Israel to support the Palestinian struggle let’s take a moment to reflect on the historical significance of this. Many Palestinians were displaced to Jordan and their liberation orgs followed. However, in the 1970s the King turned on the PLO, PFLP, etc in a brutal wave of repression known as Black September (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September) which marked a desperate turn for Palestinian armed struggle and since then there’s been little unrest in Jordan.

Likewise something similar happened a little bit later with Hafez Al-Assad in Syria turning on the PLO and even bombarding Palestinian refugee camps. (https://www.nytimes.com/1988/06/01/world/dispute-threatens-plo-syrian-reconciliation.html)

Suffice to say that this could mark the return of an international solidarity not seen in some time.

No casualties or places hit in strikes by modern militaries are accidental. If civilians die, hospitals burn, etc they are either the targets or considered acceptable losses. With the commonness of “strategic bombing” being palatable in contemporary military theory it is quite possible that civilians and their infrastructures are indeed the target.

In the case of Israel they absolutely meant to to bomb the international press just as the US did during the invasion of Iraq. Likewise Israeli media just admitted to bombing high rises to disrupt the “middle-class” rather than to hit Hamas targets.

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” —Sun Tzu

"You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended.
You can ensure the safety of your defense if you only hold positions that cannot be attacked.
Hence that general is skillful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skillful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.
O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible; and hence we can hold the enemy's fate in our hands."—Sun Tzu, The Art of War
