13. For accuracy, here is the full quote you are referring to:

Jun 2025
“The troops carried out warning fire, and after the suspects failed to retreat, additional shots were directed near a few individual suspects who advanced toward the troops,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement, which also said they are looking into reports of casualties.


Quite a lot you left out of your quotation marks, no? Not to mention that the quote is referring to events taking place outside the food distribution centers. Of course, if you are that selective with what sounds you want to hear and what sounds you are deaf to, it would sound to you exactly as you want it to sound to you.

So this is not a matter of sounding like, it is a matter of facts on the ground not matching what you hear, and not innuendo in your post.

As for the second part of your post, "below the line":The line below separates the article you cite from your comments, not from the quotes from posts that are ineliginle to be posted in LBN:
