'Haaretz reveals: IDF testimonies paint grim picture of Gaza war'

Earlier today, after the Palestine Center published our morning news report, Haaretz posted an astonishing testimonial to civilian deaths in the recent Gaza conflict. It is important to hear stories such as this one by an IDF soldier, in order to bring a face to the cold numbers of civilian deaths.

"There was one house with a family in it... we put them into some room. Afterward, we left the house and another company went in, and a few days after we went in there was an order to release the family. We took our positions upstairs."

"There was a sniper position on the roof and the company commander released the family and told them to take a right," said the soldier. "One mother and her two children didn't understand, and they took a left. Someone forgot to notify the sniper on the roof that the family had been released, and that it was okay, it was fine, to hold fire, and he... you can say he acted as necessary, as he was ordered to."
