Israel Using Remote-Control Explosive Vehicles To Demolish Gaza

A recently introduced feature of the IDF assault is the use of explosive laden remote-control vehicles to demolish neighborhoods. Rather than deploying troops on the ground, the Israeli military has been sending decommissioned armored personnel carriers (APCs) into densely populated residential areas, Middle East Eye reported. These APCs, packed with tons of explosives, are remotely navigated into neighborhoods and then detonated, causing widespread devastation. In some cases, the vehicles drop explosive barrels along streets and detonate them simultaneously, maximizing the destruction across entire blocks. One eyewitness told MEE that there are 8 to 10 blasts of these vehicles every night.
