Families of Israelis killed in Be'eri home hit by tank fire on October 7 demand probe

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."

naturalgasbad,

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

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

markr,

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

Silverseren,

We all know that tanks have a will of their own. We in the US are very familiar with "The gun/bullet killed him".

trashgirlfriend,

Thank you for pointing out this crucial distinction which completely reframes the story in question.

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