From the "wisdom" of a BBC journalist...Helena Humphrey.
And no. Churchill didn't warn Hitler before bombings..

BBC news presenter asks: Did IDF 'warn the Palestinians' before hostage rescue.
IDF spokesman says warning those holding the hostages 'would defeat the purpose' since the terrorists would 'kill the hostages'; CNN takes heat for saying that the hostages were 'released', implying that Hamas freed them.

The coverage of Operation Arnon, in which four hostages held captive in Gaza were rescued, aroused interest throughout the world media; But as is typical when it comes to the coverage of the war between Israel and Hamas, it did not go smoothly..
Conricus was forced to answer the obvious to the strange question: "Of course, we cannot anticipate Israel to be warning ahead of a raid to extract or to save hostages because then what the terrorists would do is to kill the hostages, and that would defeat the purpose."
Conricus added that the hostages "were held and jailed by Palestinian civilians in a Palestinian civilian area. As regrettable as any loss of life is, I think that we would have to investigate really who were the people who jailed these Israeli civilians for eight months."

BBC asks why IDF didn't warn Gazans on secret raid.
Former IDF spokesperson pushes back against the notion, saying advance warnings were impossible as they could have jeopardized the mission and led to the hostages being killed.

Former IDF spokesperson Jonathan Conricus pushed back against a suggestion by BBC news anchor Helena Humphrey Sunday after she said the Israeli military should have given Palestinians advance warning on Saturday's hostage rescue operation.
"Of course, we cannot anticipate Israel to be warning ahead of a raid to extract or to save hostages because then what the terrorists would do is to kill the hostages, and that would defeat the purpose," Conricus rebuffed.
