There are all kinds of repeat phrases, which are code names that trigger anti-HA (HA - Hostile Activity) action. What do I mean? The phrase: “Messing with the ground;” “I saw someone messing with the ground.” It could be a million things. Think of yourself as a civilian: you mess with the ground to tie your shoelaces, pick something up, throw away garbage; you might be looking for something; you might be picking a flower. [But in Gaza,] messing with the ground is a code name for planting an explosive device, always. That’s the suspicion, because we’ve had people killed by an explosive device. In a lot of things that made it out to the news or got posted on Telegram or WhatsApp, all kinds of overhead drone footage, you see it from a distance, in two dimensions. This means you don't really have the ability to see what a person is doing; you can only suspect and run through a risk management assessment whether it’s right to open fire or not to open fire. Given that the Netzarim Corridor is a place that’s off-limits in the first place, if someone enters it and messes with the ground, it’s grounds for opening fire. You don’t know that he’s planting an explosive device. It could be a civilian, in varying percentages. And the numbers that Daniel Hagari (IDF Spokesperson) gives the public when he says “We killed X number of terrorists” or when Netanyahu gives a speech in Congress and says: “In Rafah, we killed 1,203 people and not one innocent civilian,” - it’s total bullshit, because we don’t know. That’s the truth; we just don’t know.

So you blame it on this mechanism of incrimination? Yes. Those 1,203 people they’re talking about, who were killed in Rafah, we simply don’t know. It’s presenting a non-complex reality when the reality is really super-super complex.

[If] you are a Gazan and you bend down to do something on the ground, [is there] a reasonable chance that you are incriminating yourself? Yes. I think about it a lot, about like, if my life were filmed from a drone, what would look suspicious? Especially if you’re looking at it through this prism of incriminating people because you’re looking for targets, you’re looking for it.

Putting a hand in a bag. Yes, moving a box. There are so many things...
