The IDF portrays itself as a 'moral army' that takes extreme measures to protect Palestinian civilians in Gaza. @yuval_abraham spoke to a number of former soldiers from the Intelligence Corps who exposed horrific practices that shook me to my core. Here's a thread:

@yuval_abraham The Israeli army knows ahead of each military operation that it will be killing non-combatants, often children. There is an "allowed" number of children that is permissible to kill. As long as this amount is not exceeded, the killing can be approved in advance.

The soldiers described how following an Israeli shelling, they are asked to monitor the phone conversations of family members in order to hear the moment in which they tell each other that their loved one has died — that’s how they check who was killed.

One interviewee described how some of these conversations are used to teach soldiers Arabic. “The commanders presented a call from a mother whose husband told her on the phone that their child had been killed. She started screaming and crying."

Israel is constantly amassing collaborators in Gaza. “Today we control everything that goes in and out, whether physically, electronically, or in terms of people. People in Gaza beg to be able to study abroad or visit relatives. This can be used to turn them into collaborators.”

Intelligence gathering doesn’t focus solely on political leadership. It trickles down to average people. “There is no such thing as privacy. You know everything about the person. What they like, what they have photographed, whether they have a lover, their sexual orientation."
