In recent years not so rare. Americans killed directly by the IDF: - Mar 16 2003: Rachel Corrie - May 11 2022: Shireen Abu Akleh killed, very in a likely targeted attack - Sep 6 2024: Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, also likely targeted And 2 American teenagers recently killed by settlers (who act as an extension of the Israeli government): - Jan 19 2024 - Tawfic Hafeth Abdel Jabbar, 17 - [0] - Feb 10 2024 - Mohammad Khdour, 17 - [1] Meanwhile we have some 31 American citizens killed by Hamas since Oct 7 - [2] The numbers are quite different. However it is deeply significant that Israel is supposed to be one of America's top allies (and the US is definitely Israel's "bestie" by far), yet its government has obfuscated and/or outright lied about a 5 incidents above.
