I understand those who say this is very mild on the criticism, but it’s not the point. This is like The Zone of Interest, presented without comment. Seeing random Israelis living their lives in the background is very powerful.
Tel Aviv is the prime symbol of the colonial apartheid state. 60 kilometres away, people struggle for food, wild dogs eat bodies in the streets, foreign powers violate the alleged cease fire all day.

Yahya Sinwar was smeared for so long, all the talk about hiding in Qatar, or in tunnels, but he was killed in a random raid without any hostages present, he was sitting on a couch on the first floor. Every accusation is a confession.
