Quinta-feira, dia 17 de julho de 2014
A U.N. brokered ceasefire lasted around five hours, before Israel restarted its ground offensive preceded by an intense bombardment with the official aim of destroying croos-border tunnels. It is the first massive ground assault since Operation Cast Lead over New Year 2009 in which more than 1,440 Palestinians were killed.
Shortly after IDFs ground troops entered the Strip, Israel began shelling Wafa Hospital in Gaza. When the international community condemned the crime, Binyamin Netanyahu "explained" that they before attacking had given the hospital "multiple advance warnings" to evacutate their patients.

15. “The ‘roof knockings’ gave them enough time to go down into some burrow
Rank: Lieutenant.   Unit: Gaza Regiment.   Area: Gaza strip:
The whole ‘roof knocking’ thing (a practice in which a small missile is fired at the roof of a building as an advance warning that it will shortly be destroyed in an air strike) was understood [by Hamas] very quickly. Hamas forces are very light, really, and for them – in contrast to the general [Gaza Strip] population, and this is the great tragedy –‘roof knocking’ gave them enough time to go down into some burrow, or to run between the houses and vanish from the area. 
But for a family with a grandmother who’s sitting in the living room, it’s a bit harder. And that, too, is part of the whole thing. Because of the huge amount of data being received and sent out, and also because of the amount of targets bombarded every day, you would often get a lot of data that says, ‘such-and-such a number of uninvolved civilians were wounded,’ and you don’t really know who are civilians and who aren’t. This is data that comes from the Palestinians’ sources. 
16. "They fired the way it's done in funerals, but with shellfire and at houses"
Rank: Staff Sergeant.   Unit: Armored Corps:
On the day the fellow from our company was killed, the commanders came up to us and told us what happened. Then they decided to fire an ‘honor barrage’ and fire three shells. They said, “This is in memory of ****.” That felt very out of line to me, very problematic. 
A barrage of what?
A barrage of shells. They fired the way it’s done in funerals, but with shellfire and at houses. Not into the air. They just chose [a house] – the tank commander said, “Just pick the farthest one, so it does the most damage.” Revenge of sorts. So we fired at one of the houses. Really you just see a block of houses in front of you, so the distance doesn’t really matter.
Three shells on the same spot?
Yeah. I don’t remember exactly what time it was, but it was close to sunset. 
16bis. They were fired at - so of course, they must have been terrorists…"
Unit: Infantry.   Area: Southern Gaza strip:
There was a force that identified two figures walking in an orchard, around 800 or 900 meters from the force’s zone perimeter. They were two young women walking in the orchard. The commander asked to confirm, “What do you see,” and whether they were incriminated or not. It was during daytime, around 11:00 AM, or noon. The lookouts couldn’t see well so the commander sent a drone up to look from above, and the drone implicated them. It saw them with phones, talking, walking. They directed fire there, on those girls, and they were killed. After they were implicated, I had a feeling it was bullshit.
On what was the incrimination based?
Scouts. “The [Palestinian girls] can surely see the tanks, and they can surely see the smoke rising from all the engineering work.” After that the commander told the tank commander to go scan that place, and three tanks went to check [the bodies]. They check the bodies, and it was two women, over age 30. The bodies of two women, and they were unarmed. He came back and we moved on, and they were listed as terrorists. They were fired at – so of course, they must have been terrorists

Israeli political leadership must stop hiding behind the soldiers, as political decisionmakers are the ones who must bear responsibility for the massive amount of fatalities and disproportionate destruction in Gaza. read more
