My theory is that, other benefits (international courts, identification on the street) aside, it makes it harder for Hamas to release the identities of dead Zionists. They would use these photos in videos of sniping operations at times.

I think it would have a profound effect being a settler and seeing a blurry video suddenly go "oh this your your neighbour/brother/son/cousin btw lol" as they get 🔻🔻🔻. Those pseudoanonymous blurs suddenly distinct human beings who their families and communities recognise being liquidated like the cowards they are.

Plus, the state will struggle to hide its casualty numbers if Hamas were to continue identifying their targets.

I can see how this would maybe help them avoid legal prosecution, but I just assume every israeli is an evil war-criminal child-killing sexual predator demon-creature unless I am given good reason to believe otherwise.

So the social ostracism of being an israeli still remains, as does the possibility of orchestrating Fresh (1994)-style schemes against them.

we know who you are

When you're the good guys

I'm guessing this is supposed to be an opsec thing but it also reeks like a liberal protest thing

Me if i was in the IDF

people who are definitely not ashamed

This doesn't seem real to me. At that point, why take pictures at all?

Totally normal thing for mass murderers to do

This is the start of what will become a wider trend of obscuring identifying features for military and law enforcement personnel. I am reminded of this cautionary video, which is ever more relevant given what's happening in Ukraine: https://youtu.be/O-2tpwW0kmU

resistance fighters DO target IOF soldiers who are known to have commit (more egregious than normal) atrocities

faceless Zionazi hordes moment
