More Israeli soldiers say they targeted civilians in Gaza

When I wrote earlier this year that Israel was targeting helpless civilians in Gaza, supporters of Israeli tactics loudly disagreed. See the comments here and here.

In March, the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz published testimony by Israeli soldiers detailing the targeting of civilians.

Now more Israeli soldiers are speaking up.

From Rupert Murdoch-owned SkyNews:

Breaking the Silence, a group of former Israeli soldiers, interviewed 30 veterans of the Gaza offensive.

Their testimony corroborates other claims that Israelis were given permissive rules of engagement that caused enormous damage to civilians and their property.

"At any obstacle, any problem, we open fire and don't ask questions," claimed one anonymous sergeant in the Israeli Armoured Corps.

"Even if it's firing in the dark, firing aimed at unknown target, firing when we don't see, deterrent fire, no problem with that, etc.

"A vehicle that's in the way - crush it, a building in the way - shoot at it. This was the spirit which was repeated throughout the training."
