This morning, after 17 nights of sleeping in my IDF uniform and shoes, i finally woke up at home. sadly, i woke up to a very disturbing headline produced by the head of the U.N. Mr. Ban Ki-moon declared yesterday that Israel has committed countless war crimes during operation protective edge and called to prosecute those who bombed and fired at UNRWA institutions in Gaza. I would like to share with you some of my experiences during this operation. I do not feel the need to elaborate about the hurt, anger and pain i feel today, after losing friends and soldiers, because hurting is, unfortunately, the fate of both sides of the conflict. Yet, i do feel the need to explain why i believe the U.N declaration yesterday is false and biased. A team of soldiers that serves in my unit entered an UNRWA health clinique in Khan-yunes on july 30th. According to the Israeli intelligence this health cllinique allowed Hamas to dig a terror tunnel in the first floor of the building. When the soldiers entered the clinique (and found the terror tunnel), twelve eighty kilo barrels of explosives were activated, killing three and injuring most of the team soldiers. Mr. Ban Ki-moon, if you want to prosecute those who bombed UNRWA institutions in Gaza, please Sir, go ahead. Unfortunately i can not share the details of the missions i took part in during this operation but i feel the urge to share with you the decision making process that is held when it comes to bombing terror centers and terrorists. I will first say that the IDF uses the smartest and most expensive missiles available in order to kill terrorists, and terrorists only. These missiles are very accurate and strike only the places where the terrorists hide, causing minimal damage to the close neighborhood. The decision making process that is held by the commanders of the IDF includes viewing the area and understanding that there are no innocent bystanders that might get hurt from the bombing. Please believe me when i say that i have held my fire countless times, knowing that terrorists will get away, because innocent people might have been hurt. I am not afraid to write this information because it is already used by Hamas terrorists that launch their rockets from schools and hide in hospitals. They already know our merciful policy. Mr. Ban Ki-moon, if you want to prosecute me for war crimes, go right ahead. I will leave all my details below, for your convenience. Hamas is a problem that waits for a U.N solution. I ,as well as the rest of the world, hurt for the loss of innocent lives in Gaza. I really do. But with that said, our country can not continue living with the threat of rockets being launched at us. Mr. Ban Ki-moon, perhaps instead of blaming Israel of war crimes the U.N should concentrate more on fixing this terrible problem in order that no more young israeli soldiers and innocent Gazans will die.
