The practice is decidedly impressive, and the video clips show a controlled building demo which compares favourably with teams placing explosives on site, with individual strikes to specific portions of the structure to bring it down. Simply as an exhibition of targeting precision that has its own messaging value.

At the same time, as you say, there are numerous examples of far more capricious use of force as well, and critics of Israeli military practices are legion, least of all within Israel itself and the broader Jewish community outside the country.

Israel have the technical capability to minimise casualties. In practice they've acted at best capriciously, and arguably to maximise them.

Though this differs from many of their counterparties who either kill indiscriminately or target civillians specifically (e.g., 7 Oct 2023; Qassam rockets, which are dumb steel pipes fueled with sugar and fertiliser and tipped with explosives, bus and cafe bombings, etc.).

And yes, Israel has its own history of capricious bombings as well:

Many people strongly condemn Israel's post-7-October-2023 actions within Gaza, and I am among them. Hamas are a legitimate target, the civilian Palestinian population and infrastructure are not.

I'm trying to convey that the situation here is complicated and that all parties behave, at least at times, quite badly. I am not partisan to either Israel or the Palestinians, though I often sympathise generally with their people's relative plights, both of them.
