But they will use up a whole load of arsenal and buy a lot more. Money for arms dealers.

They are also most likely testing an experimental weapon in Gaza judging by reports from medical staff there who are seeing a new type of injury.

Yes, it's terrible. It also explains a lot - while culture and religion might be reasons for ordinary people to fight, their backers who make it possible usually have a financial incentive.

Specific reportage about the likely new experimental weapons in use right now is mostly from sources like Al Jazeera but the underlying practice has been well-established by western journalists too.
