    While still absolutely deplorable, Russia mostly shot random shells through the roofs, or the glass exploded from nearby explosions, or they shot with machine guns.

    According to that article I didn’t see Russia throwing a targeted bunker buster bomb to explode the entire building and kill everyone inside.

        Man I love reading articles of Russians doing the same stuff as israel. They’re (correctly) being branded as unforgivable war criminal terrorists in every second sentence. Somehow these words never show up in articles about israel.

        The article you linked is indeed pretty bad albeit not an ancient holy site.

        The casualty rate is 300-600 out of 1500 so not everyone died. Furthermore the building is not completely flattened so the bombs they’re using seem less powerful than what israel is throwing on Gaza.

        That said you’re right, if this was an intentional targeting while they knew it was a civilian hiding spot then this is on the same level of evil.
