Israel opened fire on UN compound - Israel should show some restraint

NVDL: Here's an analogy. A woman slaps you, spits at you, kicks you in the heel. Do you respond by hitting her back? Most civilised people would say, "No."
Where you have an obviously weaker foe, I think the more powerful antagonist ought to exercise some restraint. If they're firing from a UN compound, you can withdraw your forces or move to them to a perimeter. You don't have to bomb it to hell.

The Israeli artillery attack Thursday set the compound on fire, destroyed tons of food and humanitarian supplies and forced hundreds of refugees to flee. Israel says it does not target U.N. buildings or personnel. But the officer says troops opened fire after militants inside the compound shot anti-tank weapons and machine guns. He says the troops used 155 mm artillery shells. Throughout its 20-day offensive in Gaza, Israel has accused Hamas militants of hiding in civilian areas to stage attacks.
