In December 2003, I had a visit from a career soldier, 27 years in the IDF. He told me that soldiers were being murdered from within the IDF to further political goals. "There was this Ben Yosef from Efrat. He was a leader of the hilltop outposts movement. The killers tricked the Air Force into shooting his car with a missile from a helicopter. Then last October 27, they did it again in Netzarim. In the afternoon, the base commander stripped the weapons from three soldiers, two of them women. At night, two terrorists somehow got past base security, which never happened before, and murdered the three disarmed soldiers. They knew exactly where they were sleeping. In a base of over 150 soldiers, that would have been completely impossible without information from our side. The next day the government announced its pullout plan for Netzarim. They murdered three soldiers from the coastal area, two of them young women, none of whom had a chance to defend themselves, just to persuade secular Israelis that it was too risky for their children to stay in Gaza." . |
