Israeli Soldiers Defend IDF's Morality
(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - Knesset members on Tuesday read testimonies by soldiers about the lengths to which the IDF goes to avoid civilian casualties. MK Yoav Kisch (Likud), an air force pilot, recounted that, as a pilot, he made sure there were no civilians in every target before bombing it, and there were several times in which he turned around and did not drop a bomb because there was a suspicion that there were civilians at the target. Opposition MK Eitan Cabel (Zionist Union), said: "I never received or heard an order meant to harm civilians. We often received orders that put our lives in danger, in order to prevent harming civilians." MK Dani Atar (Zionist Union), reading the testimony of a Golani soldier, said "[Palestinians] were killed by explosives they didn't know were there that Hamas planted."
