Israel does not target civilians nor UN facilities, and deeply regrets every civilian casualty in Gaza. Israel has gone to unprecedented lengths to keep Palestinian civilians out of harm’s way, including multiple warnings (dropping leaflets, making phone calls, and sending texts) and aborting missions when civilians were recognized nearby. Israeli officials have said, “The people of Gaza are not our enemy. Our enemy is Hamas and the terrorist organizations trying to kill and endanger our people.”
Watch these videos of the Israel Defense Forces acting with extreme caution to move innocent Gazans out of harm’s way before attacking Hamas. Have you seen or heard about this in the news?
