Israeli savages murder innocents everyday and their Israeli Kangaroo Courts of
savages acquits them as per usual..
A tape recording of the radio conversation between soldiers at the scene reveals
that, from the beginning, she was identified as a child and at no point was a
bomb spoken about nor was she described as a threat. The tape shows that the
soldiers swiftly identified her as a “girl of about 10” who was “scared to
death”.
The tape also reveals that the soldiers said Iman was headed eastwards, away
from the army post and back into the refugee camp, when she was shot.
Relatives mourn the killing of 13-year-old Iman Al-Hams.
At that point, Captain R took the unusual decision to leave the post in pursuit
of the girl. He shot her dead and then “confirmed the kill” by emptying his
magazine into her body.
The tape recording is of a three-way conversation between the army watchtower,
the army post’s operations room and the captain, who was a company commander.
The soldier in the watchtower radioed his colleagues after he saw Iman: “It’s a
little girl. She’s running defensively eastward.”
Operations room: “Are we talking about a girl under the age of 10?”
Watchtower: “A girl of about 10, she’s behind the embankment, scared to death.”
A few minutes later, Iman is shot in the leg from one of the army posts.
The watchtower: “I think that one of the positions took her out.”
The company commander then moves in as Iman lies wounded and helpless.
Captain R: “I and another soldier ... are going in a little nearer, forward, to
confirm the kill ... Receive a situation report. We fired and killed her ... I
also confirmed the kill. Over.”
Witnesses described how the captain shot Iman twice in the head, walked away,
turned back and fired a stream of bullets into her body. Doctors at Rafah’s
hospital said she had been shot at least 17 times.
On the tape, the company commander then “clarifies” why he killed Iman: “This is
commander. Anything that’s mobile, that moves in the zone, even if it’s a
three-year-old, needs to be killed. Over.”
