Israeli soldier leaks accounts of revenge attacks against civilians by troops in Gaza

A member of the Israeli group ‘Breaking the Silence’ has published accounts of Israeli soldiers being authorized by their commanders to carry out revenge attacks against civilians in the Gaza Strip “to enable the soldiers to take out their frustrations and pain at losing their fellow soldiers”.

Eran Efrati reports, “Soldiers in two different units inside Gaza leaked information about the murdering of Palestinians by sniper fire in Sheja’eyya neighborhood as punishment for the death of soldiers in their units. After the shooting on the Israeli armored personnel carriers, which killed seven soldiers of the Golani Brigade, the Israeli army carried out a massacre in Sheja’eyya neighborhood.

“A day after the massacre, many Palestinians came to search for their relatives and their families in the rubble. In one of the videos uploaded to YouTube, a young Palestinian man Salem Shammaly calls the names of his family and looking for them between the ruins when he is suddenly shot at in his chest and falls down. A few seconds after that, there are two additional shots from snipers into his body, killing him instantly.

“Since the video was released, there was no official response from the IDF spokesperson. Today I can report that the official command that was handed down to the soldiers in Shujaiyya was to capture Palestinian homes as outposts. From these posts, the soldiers drew an imaginary red line, and amongst themselves decided to shoot to death anyone who crosses it. Anyone crossing the line was defined as a threat to their outposts, and was thus deemed a legitimate target. This was the official reasoning inside the units.

“I was told that the unofficial reason was to enable the soldiers to take out their frustrations and pain at losing their fellow soldiers (something that for years the IDF has not faced during its operations in Gaza and the West Bank), out on the Palestinian refugees in the neighborhood. Under the pretext of the so-called “security threat” soldiers were directed to carry out a pre-planned attack of revenge on Palestinian civilians.”...

Perhaps - though Hamas did claim earlier in the day to have successfully infiltrated the border and had a firefight with IDF personnel, killing several of them, at the Nahal Oz kibbutz.

Confirmed now. Most of the IDF casualties are barely more than children themselves.

Five IDF soldiers were killed in action on Monday near the border community of Nahal Oz, after militants used a tunnel to enter Israeli territory. One of the militants was killed.

The military released the names of four of the soldiers: Sgt. Daniel Kedmi, 18, of Tsofim; Sgt. Barkey Ishai Shor, 21, of Jerusalem; Sgt. Sagi Erez, 19, of Kiryat Ata; Sgt. Dor Dery, 18, of Jerusalem.

I really don't understand this "human shields" argument I keep coming across. What kind of twisted fucked up morality do you have to have to think using human shields is wrong but killing them is totally justified?

Dont forget, they have IDF based in various kibbutz surrounding Gaza (including the one that they have just admitted five soldiers were killed at yesterday) - the remaining occupants of which would count as "human shields", at least under the perverse IDF definition of the term. At least one of the three civilians killed by Hamas was supplying IDF troops when he was killed, as well.

The overnight targetting of the power station, of media outlets and political figures really is shameful; they arent even pretending that it isnt criminal now.

Yet more blood on the hands of Bibi et al. One would hope that, finally, the Israeli populace would start to ask exactly why it is that Hamas - under attack from air, land and sea, under constant surveillance by drones and other methods, and surrounded by overwhelming military force - are able to do that and report accurately on it afterwards.

Yes, the bit where the scumbag said ringing and texting women and children to warn them they were about to be bombed - and describing said act as showing Israel's warmth and humanity - was an astounding piece of chutzpah

Coupla commentators claimed Israel have shown great restraint, as they have the firepower to kill everyone in Gaza if they wanted, which Hamas would surely do to Israel if the shoe was on the other boot, so to speak :rolleyes:
