During the past several days, serious allegations have surfaced regarding the conduct of soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces during the recent Operation “Cast Lead” in Gaza.

The State of Israel takes all such allegations seriously. The IDF will carefully examine the circumstances of each alleged incident and will thereby determine the need for a further investigation.

The State of Israel is dedicated to maintaining morality during warfare. During the recent operation, the IDF strove to keep damage and casualties in the civilian sector to the minimum possible, and achieved remarkable success despite immensely difficult circumstances.

It should be noted that behaviors of the type alleged are not in keeping with the values and spirit of the IDF and deserve full condemnation. In addition, the IDF has undertaken measures to ensure that soldiers and officers internalize the moral and ethical aspects of combat.
