'If This Had Hit A Tower Block, A Football Stadium, Or A Shopping Mall...'

... the number of casualties could have been in the hundreds.

This from a BBC journalist about a rocket which exploded on waste ground in Israel while most people were safe in shelters.

Could it be he was basing his estimates on the number of casualties when Israeli bombs crowded civilian areas in Gaza?

I expect he could see the blast radius and could therefore make an informed estimate.

What a ridiculous question.  If it had hit a crowded area obviously there would have been a lot of casualties.  Anyone could have told you that.

[sandyRoe]

But it didn't, did it?

Go on   ...   tell us   ...   hezbollah are targeting waste ground to avoid causing multiple deaths. 

[ynnafymmi]

You are something else arent you sandy with your terrorist apologist nonsense.

[sandyRoe]

The BBC are showing bias with this report and not for the first time.

[naomi24]

sandyRoe, what are you talking about?  A missile didn't kill loads of people.  That's good isn't it?

Is there an outside chance that a fragment from the device hit the window of the taxi carrying Ian Hislop?

Makes you think. 🤔

Hmmm, they certainly are:
