Israeli veterans' organisation Breaking the Silence has accused the country's military of killing Palestinians in Gaza and later seeking evidence to justify the killings.
Nadav Weiman, the group's executive director, made the allegations in an interview with France 24, where he described “retrospective incrimination” as a process in which Palestinians killed during Israeli military operations are subsequently identified as Hamas members to justify the attacks.
Asked to explain the process, Weiman said the Israeli military and its spokespersons seek to establish the identities and alleged affiliations of people killed in air strikes, including attacks that cause large numbers of civilian casualties.
“First, we shoot, we kill, and then we think, and then we try to find a reason why it happened,” Weiman said.
He cited the Israeli military's operations around Nasser Hospital, the killing of 15 paramedics in Rafah and air strikes in Gaza that he said killed large numbers of civilians.
