> Israelis can't carpet bomb. They don't have the tech.

What? I’m not even responding to the rest if this is how you open up.

Carpet bombing is so low tech I can’t imagine a country in the modern age that couldn’t create the technology even if they couldn’t afford actually deploying it. It’s a matter of logistics and having enough bombs.

It’s literally just dropping a fuck ton of dumb bombs on an area to “carpet” it, unless we’re talking past each other and you were referring to something else.

Yeah, it's artillery bombardment by more-modern means. The "modern" bit being planes.
