IDF Officer: Hamas Use of Children During Gaza Operation Was "Monstrous"
[Ha'aretz] The Israel Defense Forces' Gaza Division Commander on Thursday branded Hamas' use of women and children during Israel's recent offensive as "monstrous" and "inhumane." Brig. Gen. Eyal Eisenberg said civilians were sent by Hamas to transfer weapons to gunmen during the offensive. He also accused Hamas of booby-trapping many of the civilians' homes. "Entire families in Gaza lived on top of a barrel of explosives for months," Eisenberg said. Palestinian civilians have accused Hamas of forcing them to stay in homes from which gunmen shot at Israeli soldiers, the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera reported Thursday.
