Hamas: Israeli army orders to kill own soldiers to avoid capture reflect panic[ 26/10/2011 - 06:41 PM ]
GAZA, (PIC)-- The Israeli army orders to fire at and liquidate captors of soldiers even if that meant the killing of the soldiers reflected a state of panic and fear of Palestinian resistance, Hamas spokesman Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri said on Wednesday.
He told the PIC that the decision would affirm the Palestinian resistance’s insistence on capturing more Israeli soldiers to trade them for Palestinian prisoners.
The spokesman said that the decision also reflected Israel’s cowardice and a disregard for the lives of its own soldiers just to avoid paying the price of their capture.
He recalled that the Israeli army had already done that during the latest war on Gaza when the soldiers fired at the captors of their comrades and killed the lot of them.
Abu Zuhri advised Israel to release all Palestinian prisoners if it really wished to avoid the capture of its soldiers.
Israeli chief of staff Benny Gantz had ordered commanders of various military units to avoid the capture of Israeli soldiers even if that meant killing the captured soldier in the process, Hebrew daily Yediot Ahronot reported on Tuesday.
