Video: IDF destroys Hamas command center in residential apartment building



From JPost:

The Israel Air Force struck a 13-story building in Gaza City on Saturday evening that housed an enormous Hamas command center, IDF sources said, adding that only combatants were inside at the time.

Gazan health officials said 17 people were wounded in the attack. Reuters cited local residents as saying that the building housed 44 families.

ABC News, even after showing this video, evidently has faith that the IDF has the ability to only destroy specific floors of the building while keeping the rest of the building untouched:
Israeli military officials said the two missiles were targeting a Hamas operations room in the building, but did not explain why all 44 apartments were destroyed.
Has that level of care been demanded of any other country in the history of warfare?
