“Hamas regularly used schools and UNWRA storage facilities. Squads of combatants emerged from these buildings, shot at our forces and went back inside … It wasn’t an isolated incident, it was policy. Compared to what happened in Iraq, we are acting with many more reservations. There are furious arguments here among us about it. But it’s clear to us that we have to apply these values – we can’t lose our way.” (Brig. Gen. Nadav Padan, commander of the 162nd Division speaking to Haaretz about Operation Protective Edge, 10/10/2014)
