Israeli Sniper Details Killing Palestinians, Including Children, Waiting for Aid
An Israeli sniper from the IDF’s Nahal Brigade detailed in comments to Haaretz the killing of unarmed Palestinians, including children, who were attempting to get aid in Gaza.
“It started about two months ago,” the soldier, who went by the pseudonym Benny, told the Israeli paper as part of a story focusing on the mental toll on IDF soldiers in Gaza. “Every day we have the same mission: to secure the humanitarian aid in the northern Gaza Strip.”
The report said that Benny and his fellow soldiers began their day at 3:30 am when they set up sniper positions near where aid trucks arrive to unload their contents. He said that Gaza residents try to move forward to get a good spot in line, but often cross an invisible line set by the IDF.
