Israel Air Force Chief: Won't stop Kassam aimed to kill if the terrorist is
holding his son's hand as he launches rocket

.... They "cloak" themselves in the most appalling sense of the word - to
protect themselves because they know we act with the highest morality. They
surround themselves with women and children.

... If we know that [the terrorist] is holding his son's hand, we do not
fire. Even if the terrorist is in the midst of firing a Kassam, and the
Kassam is aimed to kill. We do not fire.

Interview with Israel Air Force chief Maj.-Gen. Eliezer Shkedy carried out
on Wednesday 28 June, timed for the IAF's annual "Air Force Day," happened
to coincide with this week's "Operation Summer Rains" offensive in Gaza,
launched after the killing of two soldiers and the capture of Cpl. Gilad
Shalit near Kerem Shalom.
