A phone conversation between a member of the Israel Defense Forces and a Palestinian operative reportedly captured how the two engaged in dialogue regarding plans to bomb a building.
The IDF member can be heard in the call urging the Palestinian operative to clear out a building before it got bombed. There were potentially children inside.
“If the children need to die, they’ll die,” the Palestinian operative said during the call, according to Sky News. “This is how we reveal your cruelty.”
The Washington Examiner could not verify the authenticity of the phone call.

Palestinian terror group Hamas and other militant forces then began launching rocket barrages against Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, which they said is a new strategy against Israel.
In response to Hamas, Israeli officials have been trying to destroy as much of the group’s rocket arsenal as they can before the round of fighting ends.
