Israel targets infrastructure in Gaza to ramp up civilian pressure on Hamas, report claims
Yuval Abraham:
Yes, so the investigation is based on conversations I have had with seven sources from Israel's intelligence community.
Some of them are current sources that are still actively taking part in this operation, some of them former sources that have taken part in previous operations. These are whistle-blowers. So, essentially, they're not going to be willing to reveal their identities.
I feel part of the reason why some of them spoke was that they were shocked by some of the things that they were asked to do. One source described how, previously, for example, protocols in the military would say that before, carrying out a strike, you would have to have a very precise pinpointing of where the target is.
After October 7, the source said they were actually carrying out strikes based on a wide approximation, and they bombed a very wide radius, again, knowingly killing civilians. And these are sources that are in the military. They obviously care about the security of Israelis, but they felt that what was going on was unjustifiable in Gaza.
And I think this is part of the reason why they were willing to speak out against it.
