Did the IDF also kill Noha al Makadama, who was nine months pregnant?
Brigadier General Shamni said that "no substantiation was found" for
this, and the defense minister, Shaul Mofaz, said "the IDF has no
knowledge" of the case. What "substantiation" did the IDF think it
could get outside the testimony of the family members? And does it
really matter? Makadama was killed in her home while she was there with
her 11 children while the IDF demolished the adjacent building, causing
the destruction of her house as well. Anyone who blows up a building
next to a building in which there are a pregnant woman and 11 children
without warning them, is responsible for their fate. Killing a pregnant
woman under these circumstances (two boys, aged 13 and 16, were also
killed in the same incident) is a terrorist attack against innocent
people.
