It seems highly unlikely IDF would waste resources target individual civilians, follow them around Gaza and eliminate them to prevent their skills being used by Hamas, when the same techniques (say, cell phone tracking drones) can be used directly against high value targets in the Hamas leadership, or at the very least the foot soldiers who are likely to be around such targets.

> It seems highly unlikely IDF would waste resources target individual civilians, follow them around Gaza and eliminate them to prevent their skills being used by Hamas This has nothing to do with optimizing resources to defeat Hamas. If Tel Aviv regime really wanted that, they should just stop allowing Netanyahu to fund Hamas[1] in his effort to undermine Palestine Authority (the Palestinian group that actually gave up on armed resistance), as the later can't be presented as a proper boogeyman to keep the public scared dumb. It's all about sabotaging the two-state solution, maintaining the apartheid and enforcing a media blackout, not allowing the Palestinians to document the genocide and ethnic cleansing being perpetrated against them. First IDF targeted and killed journalists in droves, as previously discussed here[2]. But the images from the daily massacres, filmed by victims, still circled the world. Targeting IT staff is a criminal decision to make more difficult for the war crimes to be properly documented and known.

IDF uses a custom AI system (widely reported) to select targets and propose missile strikes

  Regardless of specific technique for target selection, resource pressure is still there, IDF has thus far failed in its stated goal to eradicate Hamas leadership. A React-JS programmer is simply a bad target to spend resources on.

    That's because it's stated goal is a lie. If it's stated goal was real -- take out Hamas and follow the rules of war -- they wouldn't have killed 15,000 children.

    Why do you trust their statement? It's more unbelievable to you that they would mislead than it is that they would murder innocent workers, as they have
