Senior military analyst describes "unimaginable" destruction in Gaza

An internal investigation by the Israeli military concluded this week that it did not violate international law during the Gaza war. The investigation was meant to look into some of the most controversial actions of the war, including shooting at medical workers, the use of white phosphorus in densely populated areas and the shelling of homes and hospitals.The Israeli report concluded that many of these "unfortunate incidents were unavoidable" and that civilian deaths were "rare mishaps".  But international human rights organization Human Rights Watch charged that "the Israeli Defense Force statement is an insult to the civilians in Gaza who needlessly died and an embarrassment to IDF officers who take military justice seriously." HRW said that the IDF is not able nor willing to monitor itself and called the investigations "a cover-up for serious violations of international law." FSRN spoke to Human Right Watch Senior Military Analyst Marc Garlasco in Gaza just one week after the war ended and this is what he found.
