"We're not targeting civilians."

And there went that talking point.
The family is dead.

Big snip ...

A car was fired upon by what appeared to be an Israeli tank on the outskirts of Gaza City, an eyewitness told NBC News on Monday, as the major ground offensive in the Palestinian enclave drew more international calls for civilians to be protected.

Freelance photographer Bashar Talib said he was traveling in a nearby vehicle on the Salah Al Deen road when the vehicle was hit.

Just as it starts to drive away in the opposite direction, the tank then fires a round that hits its back end and black smoke erupts.

The vehicle carrying Talib and Al-Saifi then turns around and drives away quickly. “The man is dead, a whole family,” they scream as it speeds up.

Unofficially: The message to the troops is . . . just blast away at anything that moves.

No war was ever fought without targeting civilians. No matter what you are told.
After all, they are the enemy, just without weapons.
