Israeli Justice Minister: "We Risked Troops' Lives to Protect Palestinians"
[Ynet News] Aviad Glickman - Justice Minister Daniel Friedmann told the Conference of Presidents Wednesday that the Israel Defense Forces took every measure during the Gaza operation to prevent the killing of civilians. "We are in a reversed situation, in which the Israeli army defends the enemy's civilians," he said. Friedmann said the IDF obeyed international law, Israel did not commit any war crimes, and that many times Israeli soldiers put themselves at risk in order to avoid hurting civilians.
