I agree that we should be representing the sources, if the source says that a Palestinian medic said such and such we should say the same. But it goes both ways, just as we should not assume that everything a Palestinian source says about this is true, we should not assume as Israeli sources. If the IDF says that there were shot fired from a location, we should say that 'The IDF says . . .' or if the foreign ministry says such and such, we should say 'the Isreali MFA says.' As far as the Israeli officer goes, Ill keep the faith, and im proud of you that you didnt fire a shot too ). But while I don't assume that Israeli soldiers never target civilians with intent, I likewise dont assume that they never do. I have seen too many videos of Israeli soldiers behaving in a brutal matter to Palestinians who are already on their knees with their hands up to think that it never happens.  And likewise I dont think that a pilot fires on a building with civilians knowing it is full of them and only them, but I dont that their superiors would never order it without their knowledge.  Atrocities happen, oftentimes unintentionally, others with full intent, like My Lai Massacre, Sabra and Shatila massacre for which high ranking officers were held at least indirectly responsible, and many others. I think that majority of soldiers in any army want to server their country and their people, including those with groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah, but there are others, on all sides, who just want to shoot and kill people.
