    What does a spy plane even report on Gaza?

    “Yup, there’s still a bunch of innocent men, women and children crammed into an unlivable space with nowhere to go, right where you left them. Looks like there’s a building still standing if you want to take care of that.”

      “don’t bomb here, there are a lot of civilians”-UK probably “Lol thanks, programming missiles now”-Israel

      Where the children are playing so that they can precicely target them of course. Wouldn’t want to waste missiles to not hit any innocents.

      That’s what I was wondering, it’s 12km at it’s widest, so 6 km max from the border. A balloon, a series of drones a spyplane has range, which Israel doesn’t need. The same drones that were keeping eyes on the George Floyd protests in Minneapolis could stay in the air longer and use less fuel.

      Even then either is going to just show groups of people, you’d need hours of steady footage to even attempt to make deductions. I would’ve figured it’d be a stream of several drones for 24/7 coverage.
