Top Israeli Official Confirms Troops Deliberately Killed Palestinians

One of the senior Israeli military’s Southern Command has confirmed the testimonies of Israeli soldiers published in Haaretz detailing the deliberate fire at Palestinians near aid distribution sites in Gaza over the past month. The deliberate firing has caused civilians’ deaths due to ‘inaccurate and uncalculated’ artillery fire.

As per the Haaretz report, the shelling was aimed at maintaining order at food distribution sites, but the army has since shifted to ‘other methods’. The IDF confirmed various such incidents with 30-40 people killed, injured in one of the serious incidents.

A top IDF officer reportedly favored the continuation of the offensive in Gaza named Operation Gideon’s Chariots. They said that the offensive in Gaza can lead to positive changes.

However, the senior IDF official said that the concerns are associated with a slow maneuver, stating that the IDF must ensure it does not get stuck like in Lebanon or Vietnam.

Last Friday, Haaretz published a series of testimonies from IDF officers and soldiers who served in Gaza, stating that they received orders to fire at unarmed crowds approaching food collection points – even when they posed no threat.

However, Haaretz reported that the IDF spokesperson first without denying the claims later rejected the accusation raised in the article by the Israeli news agency.

Reportedly, IDF have been targeting Palestinians at the food distribution sites every day. The IDF indiscriminate killing of Palestinians at the food distribution sites has drawn widespread condemnation. Visuals of IDF soldiers firing on Palestinians collecting food at the aid sites are widely shared on the social media.

Zionists are systematically gunning down starving Palestinians at food distribution sites every day, but Western journalists are collectively conspiring to hide this from the world.
