Pushing the limits in Gaza

Amnesty International thinks that Israel went overboard in Gaza by destroying many buildings that did not pose a threat to their forces. They are joined by an Israeli group, Breaking the Silence, that gathers testimony from Israeli soldiers. One member of this group said, "From the testimonies that we've gathered, lots of demolitions - buildings demolished either by bulldozers or explosives - were done after the area was under Israeli control."

Many of the buildings were destroyed by mines that were planted and detonated after Israel had gained control of an area and, thus, the buildings were no longer dangerous to the Israelis.
