6. “We expect a high level of harm to civilians”
Rank: Lieutenant. Unit: Infantry. Area: Gaza strip:
There are levels of [opening fire] – First level, second level, third level. The decision to move from one to the other comes from high up, they have some sort of forum.
First level means you can fire artillery up until a certain distance from civilians, or from a place where you think it’s likely there’ll be civilians. And a shorter range for the 120mm mortars, which are more precise. For fighter jets and the bigger bombs of one ton, half a ton, it’s defined verbally – it’s defined as, “Low level of damage expected to civilians.”
The next level is the second level. The mortar ranges stay the same, and for artillery the range from civilians decreases. For jets, it says, “Moderate harm to civilians” or “Moderate harm to civilians is expected,” or “Moderate collateral damage,” something like that. This means, something undefined, something that’s according to the way the commander sees things and the mood he’s in: “Let’s decide ourselves what ‘moderate’ means.”
In the third level, the artillery’s [safety range from civilians] gets cut by about half. I’m not talking about jets, where there’s already significant damage and it’s considered acceptable, that’s the definition. We expect a high level of harm to civilians. Like, it’s OK from our perspective, because we’re in the third level. They aren’t given a specific, defined number – this is something I remember clearly. That’s left to the commander.
7. “Go ahead – his wife and kid are in the car too? Not the end of the world”
Unit: Air Force. Area: Gaza strip:
There is what’s called in the jargon a ‘firing policy.’ It’s changed according to whether it’s [a period of] routine security or wartime. During routine, there’s targeted killings once in a while – they take place during periods of so-called routine security, too. You still use firepower, but during those times the wish or the instruction that no uninvolved civilians will get harmed is top priority. And sometimes that overrides [the targeted killing of] a very, very senior figure, in cases where an opportunity [to attack him] arises.
So it’s given up?
Yes. But during times like ‘Protective Edge,’ go ahead – his wife and kid are in the car too? Not the end of the world. It’s unambiguous.
There’s that shift?
Yes, it’s by definition. The firing policies are leveled, numbered. One, two, three.
What exactly are the different levels?
There are exact definitions, of firing ranges [you need to keep] from uninvolved civilians and all sorts of things like that. The more the policy is ‘permissive,’ let’s call it that, the more you’re ‘allowed’ to be less careful about uninvolved civilians. There’s also, by the way, the question of which arms you use – there are some that pose a greater threat to the surroundings, and there are more precise ones.
What are the regulations in each one of these levels?
There’s, say, a certain range [from civilians] defined for the strictest level, and then that distance decreases [on the second level], and then it’s, “Don’t concern yourselves with that at all” for the most ‘permissive’ level. [The level] doesn’t stay fixed throughout ‘Protective Edge.’ [For example, it can be one level] when one is providing assistive fire to ground forces and [another during] other operations, where, say, no ground forces – which would be at risk – are involved. And during routine security periods, it’s always at the maximum.
Maximum caution from harming civilians?
Right, caution. Unless, as I said, it’s an exceptional case, and then that’s [a call that’s made] at the highest ranks of decision-makers, they decide whether to drop a bomb, what size it’ll be, what’s the level of risk.
They’ll use a drone for looking, but in the end it’s an F-16 that comes over and drops the half-ton [bomb]?
That’s right, but it works in exactly the same way. As a rule, in times of routine security the decision goes up to really the highest ranks – and in times of combat, it’s up to the senior officer in the field.
