For most people, it's hard to shoot someone that precisely, that's why they aim for the center of mass. That said, Israel is obviously committing war crimes/genocide in Gaza and should stop. I just don't know how you prove the deliberate nature of this, especially with an N of 3 or 4. Could just be dumb luck, could be deliberate, I don't think there's enough evidence to say on the particular claim made from the evidence given.

Dr Khalili - it looks planned - one day all shot in head, next torso. Dr Khalil it looks like target practice. Snipers using high powered rifles.

And another Dr had the same experience—-

Dr Maynard continued: "What was even more distressing was the pattern of injuries that we saw, the clustering of injuries to particular body parts on certain days.

"One day they'd be coming in predominately with gunshot wounds to the head or the neck, another day to the chest, another day to the abdomen.

"Twelve days ago, four young teenage boys came in, all of whom had been shot in the testicles and deliberately so. This is not coincidental.“

Is the assumption that there was one gunshot to the testicles? Or one shot per testicle? Or gunshots present elsewhere on the bodies so as to create confusion about what area the solders were aiming to shoot? Or is your debate based strictly on mathematical probability without other considerations? It's very confusing.

High-power rifles, such as those used by military or police snipers (e.g., the M24, M40, or Barrett M82), are designed for precision at long ranges.

Can we ALL just admit that Israel is committing war crimes yet? Please?
