Carpet bombing requires an air force. Israel has one and Palestine does not.

Semantics, those rockets didn’t have a guidance system. Civilian deaths become inevitable when the Internet & international scorecard for favoritibility includes the number of martyrs.

No it isn’t semantics. You can’t carpet bomb with rockets just like you cannot with RPGs. It’s like you can’t shovel things with a hammer as it isn’t the tool for that job.

No you can’t carpet bomb with rockets. That’s not how rockets work.

Israel is the only party engaging in this specific war crime in this conflict.

I don’t think you know, what carpet bombing is, it’s the act of „bombing“ an area with a large amount of „bombs“. Bombs is a bit confusing, as it were mainly bombs in ww2, when it was first used. But nowadays it refers to explosives in general, indifferent of the method of delivery.

Firing a barrage of the grad rocket system is as much of carped bombing as payload of a b52
