According to the Israeli daily, the talks with the soldiers show that the commanders ordered the troops to shoot a mass to drive them away or scattered, although it was clear that they did not represent any threat.
“It’s a field of death,” said one soldier for “Haaretz”.
He stated that in his position “between one and five people were killed every day” by real ammunition, instead of using uninterrupted mass control.
The discoveries followed the Health Ministry in Gaza reported that at least 549 Palestinians were killed, and more than 4,000 were wounded near the UN Help and Homes from 27. May.
Food distribution places are kept by the Humanitarian Aid Foundation, the Assistance Initiative, which are allegedly coordinated by Israeli power, American evangelical groups and private security firms.
One Israeli reservist said “Haaretz” that Gaza was no longer interested in, describing the zone as a space without law where the loss of human life does not mean. “
The elderly reserve officer also said:
– When we asked why they opened fire, we were told that this order is from above … I can say with certainty that people were not near the hulls and did not endanger them. That was pointless, they were just killed, for nothing.
He added:
– This thing, the named killing of innocent people became normalized.
According to the report, the military distraction procedure includes the use of mortars, machine guns and fire from tanks, even before opening points for assistance or long after they are closed.
In some cases, “warning shots” turned into deadly attacks. One soldier recalled orders to fire a grenade in a mass near the coast.
“Every time we open the fire, there are casualties and dead,” he said.
– And when someone asks why the grenade was needed, there is never a good answer.
Witnesses of soldiers also discovered an informal name for their surgery in these zones:
Operation Sanded fish, Israeli derivative of the children’s game “Red light, green light”, according to “Haaretz”.
The paper also reported that a military mechanism for determining the facts received the task of exploring possible war crimes related to these incidents. Nevertheless, officers who spoke for “Haaretz” suggested that a little was done on the ground to stop or examine the practice.
One legal source said for Haaretz:
– This is not about several killed people, we are talking about dozens of victims every day.
Among the units under investigation is a division 252, which commands the Brigadier General Yehuda Vach, which, according to “Haaretz”, issued direct orders to shoot civilians gathered near UN assistance trucks.
The soldiers under his command said that the policy was widely accepted without a review.
– The idea is to ensure that they break up, even if they just came for the food there, “said an officer.
The work of private performers near these zones, often with minimal surveillance, has further complicated the situation. One soldier said “Haaretz” that “every private contractor who works in Gaza with engineering equipment gets 5,000 shekels (about $ 1,500) for every house he collapses.”
The Israeli army, rejecting international calls on the ceasefire, leads the brutal offensive on Gaza from October 2023, killing almost 56,300 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
The International Criminal Court issued in November of the Orders for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallanta for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a lawsuit for genocide before the International Court of Justice because of the war against the enclave.
