“Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.” (Psalm 12:22)
A new Israeli Foreign Ministry report on last summer’s Operation Protective Edge found that nearly half (44 percent) of the 2,125 Palestinians killed were confirmed to have been armed members of Hamas or other terrorist organizations.
The 277-page report, titled “The 2014 Gaza Conflict: Factual and Legal Aspects” and published Monday, was formulated by a team of experts from Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office, Foreign Ministry, Justice Ministry, and Military Advocate General’s office.
The findings were released ahead of a United Nations Human Rights Council report on the Gaza war. The U.N. report is scheduled to be published this week and is expected to be disproportionately critical of Israel.
