Why I Believe IDF When They Say Three Gaza Kids Were Killed By Errant Hamas Rocket Fire
shares
Yesterday palestinian media reported that three children in Gaza were killed in an Israeli airstrike. The IDF denied this, saying the deaths of the children were the result of a Gaza rocket launch at Israel “that went wrong.”
This is a typical he said/she said situation, and the question is who to believe.
The simple answer is this: I tend to believe the IDF, which tries to minimize civilian casualties but when some civilians are killed as collateral damage, do admit to it and express regret. Versus the terror organizations and their media, which have no compunctions about lying about everything as their track record testifies.
