"Kill Anything": Israeli Soldiers Say Gaza Atrocities Came from Orders for Indiscriminate Fire
A new report based on testimonies of Israeli soldiers concludes the massive civilian death toll from last summer’s Israeli assault on Gaza resulted from a policy of indiscriminate fire.
The
Israeli veterans group Breaking the Silence released testimonies of
more than 60 Israeli officers and soldiers which it says illustrate a
"broad ethical failure" that "comes from the top of
the chain of command."
More
than 2,200 Palestinians were killed in the assault, the vast majority
civilians.
On
Israel’s side, 73 people were killed, all but six of them soldiers.
During the 50-day operation, more than 20,000 Palestinian homes were
destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of people are still displaced.
We
hear candid video testimonies from the soldiers and speak to former
Israeli paratrooper Avner Gvaryahu, director of public outreach at
Breaking the Silence.
