“Roof knocking” is when the IAF targets a building with a loud but non-lethal bomb that warns civilians that they are in the vicinity of a weapons cache or other target.

Non lethal not non explosive, I stand corrected. Now can you answer the question.
You even admit it's a smaller bomb than then say its double tapping? Those are two opposing things.
You know, quoting from the idf website about their humane way of bombing, is a little bit like praising the IRA for calling in a bomb threat before exploding a bomb in a crowded place.
A double tap is the practice of bombing a location, waiting for people to help the humans who were injured and then kill those people as well.
Dropping a "loud but non-lethal bomb" and when humans gather on the location where you did that, responding by dropping a "loud but very lethal" bomb to kill all those humans is only on a technicality different from a "double tap" as explained above.
If your plan of (euphemism) "knocking" was to minimize human casualties, but when it turns out it increases human casulties and your only response to this is to shrug and say "at least I tried" - how sincere was your attempt at minimizing human casualties really in the first place ?
> Those are two opposing things.
I think you are stretching the definition of "oppising" furtherthan it can be stretched
Except it's not about killing the helpers. It's about ensuring an unambiguous warning that they are about to drop a real bomb. Get out NOW!! The people understand the message.
But when Hamas points guns at them and says run to the roof they do because that might work, running is sure to get them shot.
