The only thing I don’t understand about this article is what precipitated them to write it now, in September.
As they mentioned, this all came out months ago. Haaretz – which is basically the Israeli New York Times – reported on this. Soldiers, survivors, and investigators have all testified that the IDF instructed soldiers to let no one return to Gaza, full stop, by any means necessary, and liquidated hostages in a widespread manner.
It’s terrible. I’m glad it’s being talked about. But geez, why does it take months for something like this to suddenly get reported on?
