The original(?) +972 article was also on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39918245

It was an excellent and detailed piece on the various systems, and their use by Israel in the Gaza conflict.

>> In an unprecedented move, according to two of the sources, the army also decided during the first weeks of the war that, for every junior Hamas operative that Lavender marked, it was permissible to kill up to 15 or 20 civilians; in the past, the military did not authorize any “collateral damage” during assassinations of low-ranking militants.

Needs no comment and basically sums up the war.
