Palestinian “Policemen” Killed in Gaza Operation Were Trained Terrorists

Palestinian “Policemen” Killed in Gaza Operation Were Trained Terrorists

September 13, 2009 | Lt. Col. (ret.) Jonathan D. Halevi
The human rights organizations which reported on Palestinian casualties in Gaza failed to mention the affiliation of hundreds of Palestinian security personnel who were members of terrorist organizations and who were trained fighters, thus artificially inflating the list of “civilians” killed by the IDF. Among the 343 members of the Palestinian security forces who were killed, 286 have been identified as terror organization members (83 percent).
