Rogue IDF: O. Protective Edge 19° Dia

Norman Finkelstein: HAS AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL LOST ITS WAY? (Part 5)
A forensic analysis of AI' reports on Operation Protective Edge
Families under the Rubble

Sábado, dia 26 de julho de 2014

A 12-hour humanitarian truce takes effect for the Palestinians to recover the bodies of their dead.
However, IDF continued to bomb Hamas underground tunnels – also used to transport goods and people - and to launch surprise cross-border assaults, claiming this had become the main purpose of the incursion. Hamas responded firing rockets into Israel.
As always, prior to the ceasefire, the IDF pounded and pounded the Gaza Strip to cause as much human and material damage as possible. The Al-Najar family was practically wiped out, along with others.
The IDF death toll reached 42 soldiers, killed in action or by friendly fire.

Remembering the dead during Israeli offensive on Saturday, July 26. 
Below, only Palestinian identified victims.

Shovrim Shtika - Breaking the Silence

30. “We want to make a big boom before the ceasefire”
Rank: Staff Sergeant.  Unit: Engineering Corps.  Area: Northern Gaza strip:
Before the first ceasefire they told us we were going in [to the Gaza Strip] to take down a house. We went down quick and got the gear we needed ready and then we asked, “Which house are we taking down?” And they said, “We want to make a big boom before the ceasefire.” Like that, those were the words the officer used, and it made everyone mad. I mean, whose house? They hadn’t picked a specific one – just ‘a’ house. That’s when everyone got uneasy. At that moment we decided pretty unanimously that we would go speak with the team commander and tell him we simply aren’t going to do it, that we aren’t willing to put ourselves at risk for no reason. He chose the most inappropriate words to describe to us what we were being asked to do. I guess that’s how it was conveyed to him. “We’re not willing to do it,” we told him. It was a very difficult conversation. Him being an officer, he said, “First of all, so it’s clear to everyone, we will be carrying this thing out tonight, and second, I’m going to go find out more details about the mission for you.” He returned a few hours later and said, “It’s an ‘active house' (being used by combatants for military purposes) and it’s necessary you take it down, and not someone else, because we can’t do it with jets – that would endanger other houses in the area, and that’s why you’re needed.” In the end the mission was miraculously transferred to a battalion with which we were supposed to go in, and we were let off the hook. After the ceasefire a bulldozer and emulsion trucks (transporting the explosive liquid) and the driller (a drilling system for identifying tunnels) came to our area, and work started on the tunnels in our zone. It took two nights. At that stage, we returned to pretty much the same area in which we were stationed before, and we didn’t recognize the neighborhood at all because half the houses were just gone. It all looked like a science fiction movie, with cows wandering in the streets – apparently a cowshed got busted or something – and serious levels of destruction everywhere, levels we hadn’t seen in [Operation] ‘Cast Lead.’ No houses.
In Shuja’iyya too?
Yes. Every house that’s standing – which of course no longer look like houses because each has a hole in it – at least one – from a shell. Bullet holes, everything riddled with holes. The minaret of a mosque over which we had previously provided cover fire was on the ground, everything was really in ruins. And non-stop fire all the time – I don’t know why they were shooting non-stop, maybe so that none of the population would return. During the whole period of work there was constant fire. Small arms fire in the background the whole time. In addition to the shelling. 
31. “There’s no such thing there as a person who is uninvolved”
Rank: Staff Sergeant.   Unit: Mechanized infantry.   Area: Deir al-Balah: 
The rules of engagement are pretty identical: Anything inside [the Gaza Strip] is a threat, the area has to be ‘sterilized,’ empty of people – and if we don’t see someone waving a white flag, screaming “I give up” or something – then he is a threat and there is authorization to open fire. In the event that we arrest and restrain him, then one strips him to make sure there is no explosive device on him.
To get authorization to open fire, does he need to be armed, or with binoculars?
I think he just needs to be there.
When you say open fire, what does that mean? 
Shooting to kill. This is combat in an urban area, we’re in a war zone. The saying was: ‘There’s no such thing there as a person who is uninvolved.’ In that situation, anyone there is involved. Everything is dangerous; there were no special intelligence warnings such as some person, or some white vehicle arriving… No vehicle is supposed to be there – if there is one, we shoot at it. Anything that’s not ‘sterile’ is suspect. There was an intelligence warning about animals. If a suspicious animal comes near, shoot it. In practice, we didn’t do that. We had arguments about whether or not to do it. But that was just a general instruction; in practice you learn to recognize the animals because they are the only ones wandering around.
During the period that you were there, did you see an armed Palestinian?
Nothing, I didn’t see a single living human being, except for the guys in my platoon and a few from the Armored Corps.
