Palestinian Authority Admits Israeli Defense Force Warns Civilians to Evacuate before Strikes

TPS : May 18, 2021  United With Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told ambassadors and Foreign Ministry officials on Monday night that they should "show the truth and the facts to the world. Hamas commits a double war crime [by attacking Israeli civilians] and it uses its civilians as human shields. Israel does everything to avoid harming the uninvolved. One can guess what other countries would have done if they had been attacked in this way by a terrorist organization."

A PA official TV reporter in Gaza said that "when they [the residents] were informed that this tower will be attacked ... the site was completely evacuated. The block, the street, the civilian buildings, and the residential buildings in the area—completely—including children and women, and we saw it."

The correspondent in Gaza added that "the guard who works in this tower was warned through a phone call from the Israeli Security Agency. They told him word by word: 'Evacuate the tower and tell them that this tower will be attacked. It will be attacked any moment.' After this conversation, this tower was attacked about two hours later."

The conversation in question appears to be an incident documented by Israel's Kan 11 news, in which the landlord can be heard saying: "How much, how much time do you need?... At least two or three hours? No one should come in? In other words, [I should] go to the tower, go to the tower and not let anyone come in?"

This clip was widely circulated throughout the Arabic world.

Itamar Marcus, director of PMW, noted that "Israel's care for civilians is unique especially in the history of warfare against terror organizations who use civilians as human shields."

He further noted that "the international community's questioning Israel about civilian casualties exposes their great hypocrisy. When democracies fought ISIS (the Islamic State) and there were high civilian casualties, you never heard the UN and Western countries criticize!"

The IDF has stated that "Hamas deliberately and systematically places military targets within the civilian population, exposing their citizens to danger."

An Israeli report Monday night said that that the IAF has called off some 20% of its planned strikes due to civilians' presence in the vicinity of their targets,

The IDF, and the IAF in particular, attach paramount importance to accuracy and reducing harm to civilians. When planning an attack on a target, the IDF uses various tools, including advance warnings, "roof knocking," firing warning shots, target-clearing operations and a variety of calculations carried out by the Operations Analysis Directorate and the Planning Directorate to minimize civilian casualties.

Any incident in which civilians are harmed is investigated by the IAF.
