Disemboweling is disemboweling, dismemberment is dismemberment, neither one has any bearing on intent. Beheading implies the bombs were dropped at least in part to decapitate children, which there is zero evidence of. But again, I don't think the intent distinction necessarily matters that much, given that Israel bombed an area where this was a foreseeable outcome.

I agree with you. Beheading means decapitation as a form of execution.

At this point it's really splitting hairs. The IDF literally has a program called "Where's Daddy" that allows them to make sure suspects are at home with their families when they bomb them; so I think it's safe to infer that they intend to kill at least some portion of children.

But don't worry, the IDF's creepy ass program uses AI and then a human spends 20 seconds rubber stamping the kill order on a person and their family members.
