Military Veterans Accuse Israeli Forces of ‘Criminally Immoral’ Actions in Gaza

Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- Israeli military veterans have condemned Israeli forces for the high civilian death toll in Gaza, accusing them of being unconcerned with the accuracy of their bombing and relying on flawed artificial intelligence in target selection.

Breaking the Silence, an Israeli veterans’ organisation aimed at raising awareness to the dire consequences of Israel’s prolonged military occupation, said the current death toll of 45,000 people killed in Gaza means that 15,000 more people have been killed than the Israeli army’s estimate for Hamas’s entire membership.

While the “rate of death” in Gaza outpaces wars in Myanmar, Ukraine and Iraq, Hamas has still not been defeated, Breaking the Silence said in a series of posts on social media.

“For more than a year since October 7th, 2023, we’ve seen the [Israeli military] make more and more criminally immoral trade-offs,” the group said.

“Deprioritizing accuracy in favour of pace, careful planning in favour of brute force, humanity in favour of technology. All it got us in return was more death and ruin,” it said.

Over 45,000 people have been killed in Gaza since Oct 7. That’s 15,000 more than the IDF estimate for total Hamas members who were alive before then. A rate of death outpacing the wars in Myanmar, Ukraine and Iraq. And Hamas still stands.

The IDF has placed pace above accuracy🧵
