for Admiral Jean-Louis Vichot, the soldiers are under “extreme tension” and “not really controlled”

Israeli army soldiers “mistakenly” shot three hostages in Gaza over the weekend, killing them. “It proves that there is a definite problem with the control of fire control and the rules of engagement. But we have known that practically since the start of this operation, since it is the Minister of Defense Israeli himself, Yoav Gallant, who said he would not respect the laws of war. So it started very, very badly, and unfortunately, that’s kind of what’s happening.”comments Admiral Jean-Louis Vichot, former commander of the French maritime forces in the Pacific, in the 19/20 info of Monday December 18.

“The Americans are holding the game”

Shooting “people who surrender, who have shown that they are not armed, who have a white flag, proves that the soldiers who do this are under extreme tension and that they are not really controlled”, he adds. In defense of the soldiers, the Admiral underlines the “considerable pressure” to which they are subjected, as well as the complexity of combat in urban areas.

The US Secretary of Defense reminded Israel “to be a little more measured in the use of force”reports Jean-Louis Vichot, who recalls that without American support, Israel will not continue the war. “The Americans are holding the game by the supplies they provide, both in ammunition to fight against Hamas in the combat zone, but also for everything related to the steel dome, [car] the missiles are Israeli but also American”concluded the Admiral.
