It's what every country would do if there was a mob armed by foreign terrorist forces trying to enter some government facilities.

I'm not sure if the figures are true or just propaganda, though.

45,000 is definitely massively inflated. There's just no way they killed that many people in that short amount of time. It took months for Israel to do that in Gaza, and they were deliberately trying to exterminate the population. It's absurd.
