Omer Tischler, the Israeli air force’s chief of staff, rebuts allegations of indiscriminate air attacks on the Gaza Strip, saying thorough procedures are followed before targeting each site, Al Jazeera reports.

“Since the October 7 massacre, the Israeli Air Force has been conducting a precise, focused and process-based campaign,” he said in a statement.

“In many cases, we use small PGMs [precision-guided munitions] to strike targets near sensitive areas,” it said.

He also said claims that “dumb bombs” are being used indiscriminately to cause massive damage are “misleading”.

“Even though these munitions are not GPS-guided, they are still used accurately,” he said.
