An Israel Defense Forces General Staff team has begun investigating an incident in which 12 hostages held by Hamas terrorists were killed in the home of Pessi Cohen in Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7.

Yasmin Porat and Hadas Dagan, the only two survivors of the incident, say that the house was shelled by a tank. That has raised suspicions that Brig. Gen. Barak Hiram, the commander of the army’s 99th Division who led the fighting in the kibbutz, ordered a tank crew to fire on Cohen’s house even though he knew hostages were being held there.

    “Collateral damage”

    “Human shields”

    They will find a way to justify this, I’m sure.

    Let’s remember that this is just one house. We have evidence this happened on a large scale during the IDF response to the attack.

      And what about the claim that’s been floating around that the IDF had their helicopters just fire at everyone and anyone at the concert area? They’ve been calling that a conspiracy theory, but this really calls it into question.

    So… they shot at their own people?

    EDIT: If you’re downvoting at least tell me what wrong thing I said. As of now, it’s nothing more than a question.

      Yes, look up the Hannibal Doctrine. Basically Israel would rather kill their own than risk them being taken as hostages.
