Mideast Conflict

FILE - In this Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2009 file photo, a Palestinian runs past graffiti reading 'the anniversary of the movement of the free' as smoke rises following an explosion caused by Israeli military operations in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip. The Israeli military used reckless force during the fighting in Gaza earlier this year, resulting in needless deaths and damage, Breaking the Silence, a group of former Israeli soldiers, charged in a report Wednesday July 15, 2009. In testimonies collected by Breaking the Silence, an organization of Israeli army reservists, 26 soldiers who participated in the three weeks of Gaza fighting describe demolishing homes and using firepower beyond what was necessary given the relatively light resistance they encountered.
