I don't see what the big deal is.
I regularly launch artillery strikes on the local food bank to make sure everything is orderly and safe.
... "inaccurate and uncalculated" artillery fire.
They only meant to drop shells near the aid stations, to keep the bad guys away. Gazans should make quantum leaps from where they are to inside the aid stations, without passing through the space near the aid stations. Duh.
What in the parabolic FUCK are they talking about?! Beyond being a nauseating atrocity, the IDF statement is c/noncredibledefense levels of war-as-satire. There is no stockade big enough. The common 120mm mortar has a lethal radius of 30m from the point of impact, and has been given a 10% probability of 'incapacitation' at 100m. A common M795 155m high explosive howitzer shell will generally have a 'kill radius' of 50m, with fragmentation spreading significantly further.
In Freedom Units, if one of those 155s hit the middle of a football field, everyone on the field is dead, and everyone in the stadium catches shrapnel.
