Deeq A. Posted November 18, 2023 On October 7, ‘1400’—later revised to 1200 Israelis—were killed and more than 200 were taken as hostages by Hamas fighters in an unprecedented, highly coordinated attack. While targeting soldiers of an occupation is considered a fair game under international law, targeting civilians of any age is an act that is considered war crimes and crimes against humanity. Having said that, I will be remis if I don’t underscore the fact that some Israeli survivors who were interviewed by Israeli State Radio and Haaretz newspaper have contradicted certain aspect of the official narrative of mass execution. They shared eye-witness accounts confirming that some Israeli commanders on the ground has given the order to take out Hamas fighters together with their hostages by shelling houses to the ground.
