Israeli NGO criticizes attacks on Gaza Strip

Tel Aviv, Nov 9 (Prensa Latina) An Israeli non-governmental organization charged that the Government of Benjamin Netanyahu is enforcing the so-called Dahiya Doctrine, formulated in the war in Lebanon in 2006 and consisting of disproportionate attacks on civilian infrastructure, in the Gaza Strip.

“If the doctrine is really in play, as it appears to be, then the mass bombings on Gaza in recent weeks are deliberately aimed at damaging infrastructure and property that belongs to innocent civilians,” the NGO Breaking the Silence, created by veterans, denounced.

The Gaza Strip has been under unprecedented bombings for over a month. In the first two weeks alone, the Israeli Air Force dropped more bombs than the United States used in Afghanistan in a year, the group condemned on social media.

The intense bombings during the 2006 Lebanon War did not annihilate Hezbollah or neutralize its military capabilities, nor were they supposed to, they were only intended to create deterrence, it stated.

“We also caused massive destruction of civilian structures in Lebanon to buy a temporary calm and nothing more,” said Breaking the Silence, which highlighted that Israel used the same doctrine during the last ground invasion of Gaza in 2014.

After the war, the residents of the enclave returned to the neighborhoods that were razed, it stressed.

“The last month demonstrated, once again, that this approach gave us zero security,” the NGO warned, adding that this doctrine is also immoral because it causes widespread destruction to the civilian sector.

“Tens of thousands of homes in Gaza were destroyed or damaged. Entire neighborhoods were erased from the map,” it criticized.
