Israeli Soldier Discusses Gaza Justifications
An Israeli soldier's testimony to the organization "Breaking the Silence" revealed that the occupying army uses a mechanism of rewriting its narratives after bloody operations in Gaza to justify the large number of civilian casualties. These practices include issuing an initial account and then retroactively modifying it, especially when operations draw widespread criticism or when explaining the high death toll becomes difficult. In such cases, victims are linked to Hamas to bolster the legitimacy of targeting. For example, after an attack on the Nasser Medical Complex, which resulted in 22 deaths, the army attempted to reconstruct the narrative by associating the slain journalists with terrorism, with prior approval to target a Hamas-affiliated camera right before the attack. This raises questions about the systematic decision-making process during these operations.
