I feel like they tried, but they found they couldn’t reduce worker hours more than they already have or else the buisness wouldn’t function. These places already struggle hard to remain open staffing wise as it is. Turns out when you have bare minimal staffing and hours, you can’t cut further.
Yeah this tactic is widely done on both sides, that’s why It was obnoxious when people bitched about how they’re hiding in civilian targets so is really couldn’t get to them and I’m just thinking that’s exactly what Israel is doing as well. Hell if I recall correctly isn’t Israel the one that set up a literal makeshift boot camp inside of a hospital?
