Israeli Soldier Explains Gaza Massacre Justifications
A Palestinian soldier's testimony to the organization "Breaking the Silence" revealed that the Israeli military follows a mechanism of re-writing its narratives after carrying out deadly attacks in Gaza, with the aim of justifying operations that result in the deaths of many civilians. The testimony indicates that the military does not merely provide an initial account immediately after the attack; instead, it engages in "retrospective rephrasing" when the operations face widespread criticism or when their results are difficult to justify—particularly by linking the victims to Hamas to bolster the legitimacy of the targeting. For example, following an attack on the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis in August 2025, the army tried to reconstruct its narrative and lessen its responsibility for the attack. It claimed that the camera targeted was affiliated with Hamas and posed a threat to the forces, after the victims were described as "terrorists" from the movement. This practice demonstrates the military's attempt to alter its story after facing criticism, aiming to improve its international image and legitimize the killings.
