IDF Will Answer False Claims with Facts
(Times of Israel-Ynet News) Emanuel Fabian - IDF Southern Command head Maj.-Gen. Yaniv Asor responded to claims in the film "NAZA" (collateral damage) on Tuesday: "Throughout this entire war, we insist on...distinguishing between the enemy and those who are not involved, striking the enemy, thwarting it, and at the same time doing everything in our power to minimize harm to those who are not involved. Hamas, by contrast, cynically uses civilians as human shields and as cover for itself, benefiting if they are harmed, and benefiting if we refrain from harming them and its operatives." "In this war, we carry a torch of light and goodness and are fighting a great battle against darkness and evil. We will counter false claims with facts, answer tough questions honestly, and when a failure is revealed, we will investigate, learn and correct. Our belief in the righteousness of our path obligates us to do this as well." "Our strength is mighty and our spirit is strong, and therefore those who slander us seek to harm our reputation in the world, sow doubt in our hearts and undermine our solidarity."
