Israeli soldiers admit to bombing Gaza civilians
Four soldiers from the Israeli Military Intelligence branch "Aman" have admitted that they received orders to bombard inhabited buildings in the Gaza Strip using heavy bombs without evacuating residents, resulting in the death and injury of hundreds of Palestinians. The testimonies, reported by Haaretz newspaper, reveal that the rules of engagement have changed since the start of the war on Gaza in October 2023. Targeting civilians is now considered a side effect within a policy of expanding operational scope, despite the Israeli military's claims that residents are warned before bombings. The soldiers also indicated that they were aware of Hamas officials underground, but did not know precisely which building they were in, and decided to destroy the buildings above the tunnels to prevent targets from escaping, which led to hundreds of civilian casualties. The testimonies confirm that the rising number of victims was not due to individual errors, but rather a result of changed rules of engagement and the expanded use of heavy weaponry, with extensive infrastructure damage and more than 74,000 Palestinians killed since operations began in October 2023.
