Good morning. Today we're learning about Arabic verbs.
A very bureaucratic program. You work
at a computer screen?
Yes. You go through training so you can
work on airstrikes. Okay. A system that... contains all...
the air force's targets.
Is there a building in Gaza you planned to bring down?
I definitely helped plan strikes on buildings that collapsed.
Do you remember how many?
No.
You know I'm doing this without authorization right now.
Yeah?
If I [unclear], they'll put me in prison for revealing it.
I can't think of a place more [unclear] than a rooftop. -Yeah.
You can see the city, but the city can't see you, in a way.
He's sitting in front of a screen.
He sees it like this. There are other buildings nearby, and this is the one to strike.
First, one of the things he's given is its dimensions.
This building is 20 meters... actually, 15 meters.
One of the things they do is work out how many floors there are.
How do you know how many floors there are? Usually by the windows.
You can also check against its height. A standard floor in Gaza is about three
meters high.
Like this.
We've established there's a Hamas operative on the sixth floor, okay?
He's been identified as a target.
But if intelligence estimates there are four civilians on that floor, the strike's NAZA
is four.
NAZA four.
What's NAZA?
Collateral damage. The number of people who are going to die in... in the strike.
As a result of the strike.
They say, "NAZA 15."
They don't say, "Fifteen people will be killed," let alone...
"Fifteen children and women will be killed." They say, "NAZA 15."
Do you know what the numbers were... for NAZA? I mean...
I don't remember them.
Do you know anyone who would?
Who would be willing to talk to me? I really want to understand.
Yes, but I don't think he wants to talk
about it.
I'm also trying to understand...
Does NAZA distinguish between, say, children and babies, and men?
Yes.
Does a baby count as one NAZA?
Yes.
Yes.
[unclear]
What's the highest number you remember for a single strike?
I can't say how many were killed, because they never check. But 500 were approved
you know.
For one person.
So 500 is, like... that's a small town in Israel?
Yes.
"A computer game," we always said.
Really? You called it that? -Yes, like a computer game. -How so? -Because it's all
done remotely.
NAZA, in the strikes I remember, was 200.
A senior figure. We don't really know where he's staying. Any place we suspect he might
pass through in his daily routine, we'll bomb. Across a wide area.
Say, from here to that building over there. We strike all of it. A whole neighborhood.
At one point, anyone listed in Lavender could be bombed with 20 collateral deaths.
NAZA 20. -NAZA 20.
Suddenly, NAZA 20 became a benchmark. They were killing very low-level Hamas operatives
with a very free hand on the trigger, under orders.
But when you authorize killing 20 people for every low-level operative, and there are more
low-level operatives, that adds up to all of Gaza. -Yes.
Right. I still don't really know what to do with that realization.
I mean, yes, that's right.
In practice, that's why at some point I really couldn't stay. I couldn't
stay there, and... I can't be part of this.
Well, you were. -What? -I mean, you already took part. -Yes.
We watched a film about it during training. It's called Eye in the Sky.
There's the strike, which was the role I had.
They really try to convince them that it's moral. That's something I told myself too.
[unclear]
When you strike someone and see they're injured but still alive
you usually just drop another one on them.
I don't know if I was ever happy about killing someone.
There aren't many people in my unit who hate Arabs.
I mean, come on, it's an elitist unit. It's full of people from Tel Aviv...
There aren't many people there who hate...
Arabs. There's extreme dehumanization. But somehow, those people you're describing, whom we
also interviewed, who you say don't hate Arabs, I think killed the most Arabs
over the past two years.
Yes.
What can I say? It's about accomplishing the mission. That's the mission.
Good morning. Today we're learning about Arabic verbs.

Citizens of Israel, we have pounded the enemy with massive airstrikes.
It will be a victory of good over evil, of light over darkness.

Let's say it's 20 meters. Actually, 15 meters.
One of the things they do is work out how many floors there are.
How do you know how many floors there are? Usually by the windows.
You can also check against the height.
The standard height of a floor in Gaza is around three meters.

very, very free hand on the trigger, under orders.

yes, then you get all of Gaza. Yes.
Yes.
Right. I just don't really know yet what to do with that realization.
I mean, yes, that's right.
In practice, that's also why, at some point, I just... I really couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't
stay there, and... I can't be part of it.
Well, you were.

When you strike someone and see they're injured but still alive
usually, you just hit him again. I don't know
if I've ever been glad I killed someone. In my unit, there aren't

I took part in planning strikes on buildings that collapsed.
Do you remember how many?
Uh... no.
You know I'm doing this without authorization right now.
Yeah?
If I [unclear], they'll put me in prison for revealing it.
I can't think of a place more [unclear] than a rooftop. -Yeah.
You can see the city, but the city can't see you.
He sits in front of a screen.
This is what he sees. There are other buildings nearby, and this is the building to be attacked.
First, one of the things he's given is its dimensions.
This building is 20 meters... actually, 15 meters.
One of the things they do is establish how many floors it has.
How do you know how many floors there are? Usually by the windows.
You can also check against its height. A standard floor in Gaza is about three meters.
Like this.
We've established there's a Hamas operative on the sixth floor, okay?
He's been identified as a target.
But if intelligence estimates there are four civilians on that floor, the strike's NAZA
is four.
NAZA four.
What's NAZA?
Collateral damage. The number of people who'll die in the strike, as a result
of the strike. They say, 'NAZA 15.' They don't say, 'Fifteen people are going to be killed.'
And certainly not, 'Fifteen children and women are going to be killed.'
They say, 'NAZA 15.' Do you know what
the NAZA figures were? I mean...
I don't remember them.
Do you know anyone who would?
Who would be willing to talk to me? I really want to understand.
Yes, but I don't think he wants to talk
about it.
I'm also trying to understand...
Does NAZA distinguish between, say, children and babies, and men? -No.
Yes.
Does a baby count as one NAZA?
Yes.
Yes.
[unclear]
What's the highest number you remember for a single strike?
I can't say how many were killed, because they never check. But there was approval for five
hundred, I mean.
For one person.
So 500 is, like... that's a small town in Israel?
Yes.
"A computer game," we always said.
Really? You actually said that? Yes, it's like a computer game. How was it like a game? The
The targets? Because it's all done remotely.
NAZA, in the strikes I remember, was 200.
A senior figure. We don't really know where he's staying. Anywhere we suspect he might
in his daily routine, we'll bomb. And that's over a wide area.
Say, from here to that building over there. We strike all of it. A whole neighborhood.
There was a point when anyone listed in Lavender could be bombed with 20 people as collateral damage.
NAZA 20.
NAZA 20.
Suddenly, NAZA 20 became a kind of benchmark. Killing very low-ranking Hamas members with a
with a very, very free hand on the trigger, under orders.
But when you authorize killing 20 people for every low-level operative, and there are more operatives...
that adds up to all of Gaza. -Yes.
Right. I still don't really know what to do with that realization.
In practice, that's why at some point I really couldn't stay. I couldn't
stay there, and I can't be part of this.
Well, you were. -What? -I mean, you already took part. -Yes.
We watched a film about it in training. It's called Eye in the Sky. There's the strike,
which was the job I did.
They really try to convince them that it's moral. That's something I told myself too.
[unclear] When you strike someone and see they've been hit and they're wounded,
but still alive,
then, usually, you just drop another one on them.
I don't know if I was ever happy about killing someone.
There aren't many Arab-haters in my unit. I mean, come on, it's an elitist unit. Lots of
people from Tel Aviv. There aren't many people there
who are, like, Arab...
Arabs. There's extreme dehumanization. But somehow, those people you're describing, whom we
also interviewing, who you say don't hate Arabs,
I think they killed the most Arabs.
over the past two years.
Yes.
What can I say? It's about accomplishing the mission. That's the mission.
Good morning. Today we're learning about Arabic verbs.
A very bureaucratic program.
You work at a computer screen?
Yes.
You go through training so you can work on airstrikes.
Okay. A system that contains all the targets for airstrikes by the
the air force.
Did you plan the destruction of a building in Gaza?
I definitely helped plan strikes on buildings that collapsed.
Do you remember how many?
No.
You know I'm doing this without authorization right now.
Yeah?
If I [unclear], they'll put me in prison for revealing it.
I can't think of a place more [unclear] than a rooftop. -Yeah.
You can see the city, but the city can't see you, in a way.
He sits in front of a screen.
He sees this, with other buildings beside it, and this is the building to strike.
First, one of the things he's given is its dimensions.
This building is 20 meters... actually, 15 meters.
One of the things they do is work out how many floors there are.
How do you know how many floors there are? Usually from the windows.
You can also check against the height. The standard height of a floor in Gaza is about three meters.
Like this.
We've established there's a Hamas operative on the sixth floor, okay? He's been identified as a target.
But if the intelligence assessment says there are four civilians on that floor, the NAZA
is four.
NAZA four.
What's NAZA?
Collateral damage. The number of people who are going to die in the strike.
As a result of the strike.
They say, "NAZA 15."
They don't say, "Fifteen people will be killed," and certainly not,
"Fifteen children and women will be killed." They say, "NAZA 15."
Do you know what the NAZA numbers were? I mean...
I don't remember them.
Do you know anyone who would?
Who would be willing to talk to me? I really want to understand.
Yes, but I don't think he's interested in talking about it.
I'm also trying to understand...
These are the launches from Gaza, and this is the sky over Gaza, and this is the sky over Tel
Aviv.
