If Palestinian terrorists used kidnapped Jewish women/children as human shields, would the IDF use a different tactic for taking out rocket launch sites?

Asked by gorillapaws (30512points) July 12th, 2014

Hypothetical scenario: Let’s say a Palestinian terrorist group was using kidnapped Israeli Jews as human shields at the locations where they were firing their rockets from. Would the IDF use the same type of airstrikes to counter the threat?

To the IDF, is all collateral damage equally as bad or is a dead Palestinian child “worth less” somehow than a dead Jewish child?

If so, what tactics would they employ to counter the hypothetical scenario? Why wouldn’t they use that in the current situation?
