‘International policy is another battle we are in,’ IDF Chief artillery officer says
The IDF’s Chief artillery officer, Brig.-Gen. Yair Natans, noted the challenges the artillery corps is facing during the war.
“There is a lot of consideration for international policy, this is another battle we are in. We don’t forget this, legitimacy [of our actions] is on our minds.”
Regarding the use of white phosphorus, he said: “There is no use of phosphorus bombs, but smoke bombs.”
“The mass [of fire] is important and produces a significant effect on the enemy,” Natans continued.
“The Artillery Corps operates precise and statistical fire arrays, which protect the forces. We operate a precise ‘spear’ rocket for infrastructure, which has not been used in the Gaza Strip before. We use it if we want to hit accurately and not collapse a house.”
