Why is IDF controversial?
Although it claims to be the “most moral army in the world”, the Israeli army has been accused of negligent and ratio -less conduct.
Recently, there have been several incidents at aid sites in Gaza, aimed at providing food to the Palestinians to stay hungry. According to the Gaza government’s media office, more than 500 Palestinians have been killed and more than 4,000 have been injured, waiting for food on the sites run by Israel and US-supported Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
On Friday, the Israeli newspaper Hretz reported the claims of the soldiers that they were asked to deliberately shoot at the Palestinians at the aid distribution centers. One described the aid distribution as a “murder area” and said that the commanders ordered the soldiers to set fire to the Palestinians as a way of “communication”.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katj dismissed the claims, which he called a “blood complaint”.

The Israeli army said it attacked the convoy as the authorities believed that Hamas was traveling with an armed member group.
Israel says that the citizen takes care to avoid casualties.
