The Israeli newspaper Haaretz has revealed the Israeli military has begun investigating the actions of its own forces during the October 7 Hamas attack. Part of the probe is focused on Kibbutz Be’eri, where an Israeli brigadier general has admitted that he ordered an Israeli tank commander to fire on a home where Hamas fighters were holding Israeli hostages. Brigadier General Barak Hiram told The New York Times that he had ordered the tank commander to “break in, even at the cost of civilian casualties.” Only two of the 15 Israeli hostages survived. We’ll have more on this story later in the show.
