IDF Closes Investigation of Response to Soldier's Kidnapping in 2014 Gaza War
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - On August 1, 2014, Hamas violated a ceasefire by attacking three IDF soldiers near Rafah in Gaza. One of them, Hadar Goldin, was kidnapped but was believed to be still alive. In response, the IDF unleashed massive firepower to try to cut off Hamas forces from escaping with the kidnapped soldier. The IDF legal division found that the actions of the IDF soldiers in the field did not go beyond the bounds of the laws of war.
