Shovrim Shtika - Breaking the Silence

75. “Listen, we did just destroy at least a whole neighborhood in there”
Rank: Staff Sergeant. Unit: Nahal Brigade. Area: Northern Gaza strip:
What was the process for entering houses?
Any neighborhood you go to, when you arrive it has already been ‘sterilized,’ that is to say, you have lookout posts telling you it’s empty, and specific places in it have already been bombed. These tactics were effective – fact is, not once did we run into a single terrorist up close. Also, when you get close to a building you ‘soften’ it up, which usually involves tank fire, and if not tanks then portable rockets – shoulder-fired rockets and grenade launchers, things that blow up inside the houses.
Would the tanks be firing machine guns or shells?
Shellfire. The forces usually fire at least one shell before going in [to a house]. Either that or a MATADOR or a LAW (portable anti-tank rockets), so that if there’s anyone inside, they won’t be there when we go in, one way or another. And then we go into the house, shooting as we ‘open’ it, often using lots of grenades, too. Every room you ‘open’ you do it while firing – depending on the forces in the area. You don’t want to shoot your own forces, so you don’t shoot in their direction. You go room by room, ‘clean’ it all up. If there’s a locked room you usually open it up with some sort of explosive, or a grenade. In Beit Lahia we used small explosives on every door. We used segments of a breaching frame (a frame constructed out of a chain of explosive segments, used for breaking through doors or walls). You take one segment and affix it to the door – and very little of the door is left, it gets blown in and then you ‘open’ the room. Or you can use a grenade, which is what we did in Beit Hanoun, for example. You put a grenade by the door, go way back, the grenade blows the hell out of the door, and that’s that.
How do you feel when you complete the operation?
It’s complicated. It’s not a happy feeling – but it does feel good, mostly thanks to the fact that no one in my battalion was hurt in a serious way. ‘Happy’ isn’t the word, because listen, we did just destroy at least a whole neighborhood in there. When you set up in a house, the house doesn’t stay the way it was. You open an exit in the back with a hammer, you fortify the house, you usually throw grenades at a lot of places. You erect a rubble embankment in front of the house with a D9 (an armored bulldozer) to protect against rockets, you raze the house that’s closest in order to reduce risks, and you level the area both in back and in front.
How do you raze the adjacent house?
It’s razed by a D9. Usually when the company positions itself in several houses in the area, part or all of the houses in close proximity that pose a threat are taken down. Let’s just say wherever the battalion was positioned, nothing was left standing, at least not at full height.
