Israel Gaza conflict: 'Most of our shooting was random... we didn't think about civilian casualties'
On July 17th 2014 Israel launched a major ground offensive into the Gaza strip in a bid to stop rockets being fired by Palestinian militants and to destroy a network of tunnels used by Hamas and other factions. By the time they left some 2200 Palestinians would be dead including a significant number of civilians. Now, for the first time, Israeli soldiers have described the orders they received for fighting in civilian areas - orders that treated any Palestinian as a threat. Among those who have spoken out is a 22 year old sergeant who served in a tank.
