Same with a lot of the highway vehicles in other areas. I was still surprised people ate it up in the USA because the average American knows exactly what small arms fire does to a wide array of civilian vehicles (road rage, cops during pullovers) from watching the local news on their TV or being in the wrong place at wrong time. Bullet holes are very distinct on vehicles because they are round holes with paint blown off in a ring around each hole.

The IDF shocked a lot of western media consumers and politicians with the “savagery of Hamas” by posting footage of twisted minivans with dead families in them and took advantage of most people not picking up on some of that damage looking it was from an Apache gunships 30mm autocannon.

There is nothing Hamas was seen carrying that would have torn some of those highway vehicles up like that, they didn’t have the shaped charge damage from an RPG or bullet holes from small arms but had twisted roofs, blown out windows, and passengers who were shredded. It was the same with some of the civilian vehicles filled with burned bodies, the vehicles had caught fire but some of the ones that didn’t burn long enough to fully destroy the vehicle body looked like they got hit with a hellfire missile or cannon fire from above and not small arms fire from the ground. Liveleak users who watched all the fkd up Iraq/Afghanistan war videos back in the mid 2000s will know what I mean.
