Israel's Untargeted Attacks

Hitting the UN Aid station in Gaza with white phosphorus rounds? Thats pretty low, even for Israel. Combined with all the other reports of civilian casualties, it is clear military targets far from the only ones hit. Sure, could be collateral damage and all that, but that still leaves only three solutions:
1) The Israeli army is incompetent (unlikely)
2) The Israeli army is shooting at whatever the hell it wants, if there is a slight excuse to shoot at it (highly likely)
3) The Israeli army is intentionally targeting civilians in order to put pressure on Hamas.

Personally, I think it is explicitly and officially 2, but no one is really against 3 if it happens on a granular level -- the problem for Israel is that even in this very pro-Jewish country, the negative press and reaction is pretty strong.

I think it could be fun and informative while greatly reducing the number of accidents (especially fatal ones) on the roads every year. Right now, the driving exam is basically a joke, it means that you know what the pedals...
