The IDF and defense ministry claimed that the aid workers’ killing resulted from poor coordination. Israeli army sources later refuted their claims, saying the incident has ‘no connection to coordination’ and was caused by the fact that ‘every commander sets the rules for himself’
The sources accused the IDF’s Southern Command of trying to deflect blame for the incident in Deir al-Balah, in which seven employees of World Central Kitchen were killed. A source in the intelligence branch said the command “knows exactly what the cause of the attack was – in Gaza, everyone does as he pleases.”
Army regulations say that final approval for any action against sensitive targets like aid organizations must be given by senior officers – the division commander, the head of the command or even the chief of staff. But in Gaza, the source said, “every commander sets the rules for himself” and gives his own interpretation of the rules of engagement.
“It has no connection to coordination,” the intelligence branch source said. “You can set up another 20 administrations or war rooms, but if someone doesn’t decide to put an end to the conduct of some of the troops inside Gaza, we’ll see more incidents like this.”
That’s what the Zionists said at the outset. There are no rules of engagement.
They are going to pin this on rogue actors but this is a policy decision.
The whole state is a rogue actor.
Yep, it was a drone strike, this is not a fog of war thing, some guy in an office in Tel Aviv was piloting that thing and would’ve had access to any intelligence needed to make the right decision.
This is not some guy cut off from his unit without a radio shooting the wrong people or whatever they’re trying to present this as.
What would make a person hate a group of people so much that they would commit such an act?
