Shalom Shitrit - an IDF soldier who was on duty on 7 October 2023 - has made a damning testimony to the Knesset

Claiming that openly genocidal far-right news sites are “legitimate” is a stretch. All they do is verbatim re-state what the government says.
Whether you believe him and many other IDF soldier testimonies is up to you, but claiming it’s fake because the genocidal state said so is not evidence of that being the truth.
Also, IDF were literally order to shoot at civilians in hopes of preventing them from being kidnapped. That says a lot about what they were willing to consider “acceptable” loss of life.
Is there a secondary source for this article?
Testimony is recorded in video format which is the primary source. If you are asking if more articles were written in English I’m not sure.
It just seems like the actual evidence for this is a bit shaky. This reads more like a propaganda article than anything else.
Testimony was delivered at Knesset. Whether you consider Israel’s legislature a propoganda tool is another question entirely.
