In this thread, I will describe the nature of Israel's targeting policy(Air Force) when it comes to Palestinian territories or Lebanon. I will start with:
1. 'Knock on roof', civilian family targets
I often hear from media, during aerial assaults on the Gaza Strip, that Israel sends a warning missile(Or known as 'roof knocking') prior to the actual missile destroying a home. There are many cases where there aren't warnings. I want to focus on video's providing evidence that these warning decoy missiles come about 1-2 minutes prior to the actual deadly attack, unlike what we are told in media.
Here is the first example I'm able to find:
Literally in the beginning of the video, we can see either the first or second decoy missile being fired at around 0:03 into the video, a son in the household can be heard pleading for help, that he needs help to get his possibly handicapped father out. The neighbors yell tell them to get out as quick as possible, some men maybe down there trying to get them out. But it appears it was too late for the father, we can see the actual missile hits at about 1:01 into the video, making that about 57 seconds between the warning and the actual firing.
Now if you don't understanding Israel's engagement policy, it targets homes of certain families. For example, let's say your son is a member of the British Armed forces, it is likely Israel will target his family's home if he lives with them. In Gaza(Palestine), most people live with family, in two or three story buildings as they can't afford to have a house on their own. So the whole family, even extended family in some cases will get targeted. Sometimes they are warned, and escape in time. Sometimes they are warned but have little time to escape. And sometimes they are not warned and this happens:

Also if you are in any way related to any ministry or part go the government, your home is likely to be targeted. These are the type of targets selected in Israel's air campaign, strictly before any ground invasion, not part of a ground invasion. If there is a ground invasion, that's when more people are endangered, because homes in the area of battle could get hit form shells or air strikes.

2nd video:
In this video we see the warning decoy missile(if it literally hits you it will kill you) at around 0:02, the actual missile hits around 1:10, making that about 68 seconds. Which is not a lot of time if you have no idea you were on target list and have no involvement in military or government.
