Family members of Israelis who were killed on October 7 after a standoff between Hamas terrorists and the Israeli army led to the army firing a tank at a house where the civilians were held hostage are demanding that the military probe its actions that day.

The families’ demand, which was confirmed by two sources who spoke to Haaretz, was reported on Friday on Israel’s Channel 12 News and preceded last month’s New York Times investigation in which Brig. Gen. Barak Hiram said he had ordered a tank commander to fire on the home of Kibbutz Be’eri resident Pesi Cohen, in which Israeli civilians and many terrorists were holed up, “even at the cost of civilian casualties.”

    The Israeli government doesn’t care about Palestinians or it’s own people, it only cares about colonization and gaining power.

      Sure don’t. I cowered at our bloodthirst after 9/11, but the Fourth Reich is taking it to another level with the Israeli media celebrated “Tank Girls” killing their own.

    One does not ‘fire a tank at a house’, instead one’s tank fires at a house.

    And yet there have been oodles of people questioning their testimony.

    Clearly, it must be Hamas that was operating the tank.
