#1 I simply do not understand why Israel is making these calls.

I think I do. At least 2 of the reasons are:
1.The Israelis, like us, value human life and can't quite bring themselves to fire away w/o at least trying to clear out the teh Non-combatants. It makes for less flinching when the "kittens, puppies, and baby ducks" agitprop starts up.

2. It is a subtle form of Agitprop/psyops/I.O. that drives home how overwhelmingly omnicient they are.

Imao, the 2nd point, while valid, does tend to backfire when applied to a less rational opponent...

#2 I'll bet they don't make the call until a intel drone is overhead. See where they go to ground until you reach critical mass of targets.
