According to data, at least 20 of 105 deaths since launch of ground operations not caused by enemy fire; military says working to ensure troops' safety
Casualties fell as a result of friendly fire on October 7, but the IDF believes that beyond the operational investigations of the events, it would not be morally sound to investigate these incidents due to the immense and complex quantity of them that took place in the kibbutzim and southern Israeli communities due to the challenging situations the soldiers were in at the time.
They’re not investigating because it’s so prevalent and would turn Israelis against the war…
I mean, from a cold blooded psychopathic perspective it does make sense. Investigating them means they’re quantified and families know their kid specifically was killed by other IDF members.
Keep it vague and say “it happened a little” and every family can convince themselves it wasn’t their kid, their kid was murdered by Hamas. It keeps all the rage pointed at Palestine instead of at Netanyahu’s government.
Jesus…

You know it is much easier to claim all casualties on the enemy, less uncomfortable questions.
