1 | Israeli Army Whistle-Blower Gets Arrested After Posting ‘Israeli Troops Killed Gaza Civilians in Revenge’ on Facebook | Mpiampanga Ny Tsy Mety Avy Ao Amin'ny Tafika Israeliana Manaporitsaka Resaka Fanafihana Valifaty Ataon'ny Tafika Amin'ny Olon-tsotra |

3 | Former combat soldier and company sergeant of the Israeli army turned whistle-blower Eran Efrati, aged 28, was arrested by the Israeli authorities and questioned concerning his research regarding the use of illegal weapons in Gaza. | Miaramila fahiny ary serzà tao amin'ny tafika Israeliana i Eran Efrati, 28 taona no lasa mpiampanga. Nosamborin'ny manampahefana izy ary nalaina am-bavany momba ny fikarohana nataony mikasika ny fampiasàna fitaovam-piadiana tsy manaraka ny lalàna ao Gaza. |
4 | On Tuesday, July 29, Efrati announced on Facebook that he received information from sources within the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) revealing what he claims to be the real reason for the Shuja'iyya massacre which occurred nine days prior on July 20: namely that civilians were targeted and killed by Israeli soldiers as punishment for the death of soldiers in their units. | Ny Talata 29 Jolay, nilaza tao amin'ny Facebook i Efrati fa naharay vaovao avy aminà loharano ao anatin'ny Hery Fiarovana Israeliana (IDF) manambara izay lazainy ho ny tena antony marina amin'ny vonomoka atao ao Shuja'iyya izay nitranga sivy andro talohan”io, ny 20 Jolay, ka nanondroany fa olon-tsotra no nataon'ny miaramila Israeliana ho lasibatra sy novonoina mba ho sazy tamin'ny nahafatesan'ny miaramila tao anatin'ny andian-dry zareo. |
5 | In recent weeks I was on the border of Gaza and getting reports from soldiers in the Gaza Strip who leak information out to me. | Post by Eran Efrati. Tato anatin'ny herinandro vitsivitsy dia tao amin'ny faritr'i Gaza aho ary nahazo tatitra avy amin'ireo miaramila ao, izay manaporitsaka vaovao ho ahy. |
6 | I am in the process of publication of two big stories in major U.S. newspapers, but there are some things I can share with you right now: Soldiers in two different units inside Gaza leaked information about the murdering of Palestinians by sniper fire in Shuja'iyya neighborhood as punishment for the death of soldiers in their units. | Anaty dingan'ny famoahana tantara roa goavana ao anatin'ny gazety Amerikana aho, saingy misy zavatra sasantsasany efa azoko zaraina avy hatrany aminareo dieny izao: nanome vaovao mikasika ny famonoana Palestiniana nataon'ireo mpitily tao amin'ireo tanàna manodidina an'i Shuja'iyya mba ho sazy tamin'ny nahafaty ireo miaramila tao anatin'ny andiny misy azy ireo miaramila ao anatin'ireo andiany roa samihafa ao anatin'ny faritr'i Gaza. |
7 | After the shooting on the Israeli armored personnel carriers, which killed seven soldiers of the Golani Brigade, the Israeli army carried out a massacre in Shuja'iyya neighborhood. | Taorian'ny tifitra nahazo ireo fiara mifono vy mpitatitra ny tafika Israeliana, izay nahafaty miaramila fito avy amin'ny Borigady Golani, dia nanao vonomoka tao amin'ny manodidina an'i Shuja'iyya ny tafika Israeliana. |
8 | A day after the massacre, many Palestinians came to search for their relatives and their families in the rubble. | Andro iray taorian'ilay vonomoka dia marobe ireo Palestiniana tonga hitady ny havany sy ny ankohonany tany anaty korontam-paharavàna tany. |
9 | In one of the videos uploaded to YouTube, a young Palestinian man Salem Shammaly calls the names of his family and looking for them between the ruins when he is suddenly shot at in his chest and falls down. | Ao anatin'ny iray amin'ireo lahatsary nakarina ao amin'ny YouTube, Salem Shammaly ilay tovolahy Palestiniana iray teo am-piantsoana ny anaran'ireo havany sady mikaroka any anaty korontan-javatra no voatifitra tampoka teo amin'ny tratrany ary lavo. |
10 | A few seconds after that, there are two additional shootings from snipers into his body, killing him instantly. | Segondra vitsy taorian'izay dia mbola nisy tifitra roa fanampiny avy amin'ireo mpitily niantefa teny amin'ny vatany, nahafaty azy teo noho eo. |
11 | Since the video was released, there was no official response from the IDF spokesperson. | Hatramin'ny nivoahan'ilay lahatsary, tsy nisy valinteny ofisialy avy amin'ny mpitondra tenin'ny IDF (tafika Israeliana) aloha hatreto. |
12 | Today I can report that the official command that was handed down to the soldiers in Shujaiyya was to capture Palestinian homes as outposts. | Androany dia azoko atao ny mitatitra fa ny baiko ofisialy nalefa ho eny am-pelatanan'ireo miaramila tao Shujaiyya dia ny haka ireo trano Palestiniana hatao ho tobin'ny mpisava làlana. |
13 | From these posts, the soldiers drew an imaginary red line, and amongst themselves decided to shoot to death anyone who crosses it. | Avy eny amin'ireny toby ireny, namaritra tsipika mena tao an-eritreriny ireo miaramila, ary nanapaka hevitra samirery ny hitifitra ho faty izay rehetra sahy mandingana azy io. |
14 | Anyone crossing the line was defined as a threat to their outposts, and was thus deemed a legitimate target. | Na iza na iza mandingana ilay tsipika dia raisiny daholo ho loza mitatao ho an'ny tobin-dry zareo, ary dia rariny ho azy raha raisiny ho lasibatra. |
15 | This was the official reasoning inside the units. | Io no fomba fisainana ofisialy ao anatin'ireo andiany ireo. |
16 | I was told that the unofficial reason was to enable the soldiers to take out their frustrations and pain at losing their fellow soldiers (something that for years the IDF has not faced during its operations in Gaza and the West Bank), out on the Palestinian refugees in the neighborhood. | Nolazaina tamiko fa ny mba hanamaivanan'ireo miaramila ny fikorontanan-tsainy sy ny alahelony tamin'ny namoizany ireo miaramila mpiara-dia taminy (zavatra tsy nosedrain'ny IDF intsony efa an-taona maro nandritry ny hetsika nataony tany amin'ny faritr'i Gaza sy Cisjordanie) no antony iray tsy ofisialy, hamalian-dry zareo izany amin'ireo Palestiniana mpialokaloka tao amin'ny manodidina. |
17 | Under the pretext of the so-called “security threat” soldiers were directed to carry out a pre-planned attack of revenge on Palestinian civilians. | Eo ambanin'izay dia mody lazain-dry zareo fa “loza mananontanona ny ain'ireo” miaramila no anatanterahany fanafihana iray efa voaomana mialoha ho valifaty atao amin'ireo olon-tsotra Palestiniana. |
18 | These stories join many other similar ones that Amira Hass and I investigated in Operation Cast Lead. | Manampy isa ireo tantara sasany mitovy aminy izay niarahanay i Amira Hass nanadihady momba ny “Hetsika Firaka Mitsonika” ireny tantara ireny. |
19 | The death toll that continues to rise is steadily reaching the numbers of the massacre of 2009. | Efa mihamanakaiky ny isa tamin'ny vonomoka nataony taona 2009 ny isan'ny maty izay tsy mitsahatra ny mitombo. |
20 | More than 1,100 have been killed in Gaza, at least 80 percent of them civilians. | Maherin'ny 1.100 no maty tao Gaza, 80 isanjato raha kely indrindra no olon-tsotra tamin'ireo. |
21 | Today it is cleared for publication that at least 4 soldiers were killed by a rocket in a gathering area outside of Gaza, and another soldier was killed in Gaza. | Ankehitriny, nahzoana alàlana ny hamoahana fa raha kely indrindra dia miaramila efatra no matin'ny tifitra bala afomanga tany amin'ny faritra iray fitobiana tao ivelan'i Gaza, ary miaramila iray hafa no maty tao Gaza. |
22 | They join 43 soldiers that have already been killed. | Manampy isa ireo miaramila 43 efa namoy ny ainy izy ireo. |
23 | We know that more acts of revenge will come soon and it is important that we not stay silent. | Fantatsika fa mbola hisy tsy ho ela ny hetsika valifaty hafa hatao ary tena zava-dehibe ny tsy tokony hikombonantsika vava. |
24 | This is the time to take to the streets and to social media. | Fotoana izao handraisana ny arabe sy ny media sosialy. |
25 | Demand from your representative wherever you are to stop supporting this massacre and to immediately boycott the state of Israel until the occupation ends, the blockade is lifted and Palestinians will be free. | Hitakiana amin'ireo solotenantsika, na aiza ianao na aiza, hampiato ny fanohanana io vonomoka io sy hibodoana avy hatrany ny fanjakan'i Israely mandra-pitsahatr'ity fananiham-bohitra ity, hanalàna ny sàkana ary hanomezana fahalalahana ny Palestiniana. |
26 | We all want to be in the right place at the right time when history knocks on our door, and history is knocking in Gaza right now. | Samy te-ho amin'ny toerana sahaza azy sy amin'ny fotoana mety avy isika rehetra rehefa injay handona ny varavarantsika ny tantara, ary mandòna ny varavaran'i Gaza indrindra ny tantara ankehitriny. |
27 | You need to decide on which side you want to go down in history. | Mila manapaka hevitra ianao haka izay lafy tianao haleha ao anatin'ny tantara. |
28 | In addition to being arrested and questioned, Efrati had both his Facebook and email accounts blocked and apparently received death threats aimed at keeping him silent. | Ankoatry ny fisamborana sy fakàna am-bavany, dia nobahanana ihany koa ny Mailaka sy ny kaontin'i Efrati ao amin'ny Facebook ary toa hoe naharay fandrahonana ho faty izy hikendrena ny hampanginana azy. |
29 | He wrote: | Post by Eran Efrati. |
30 | In recent days I was arrested by authorities and questioned about my research regarding the use of illegal weapons in Gaza, my mail and Facebook accounts were blocked, And I received strong hints that my life is at risk and I need to be silent and keep low. | Tato anatin'ny andro vitsivitsy dia nisambotra sy naka am-bavany ahy ny manampahefana, mikasika ny asa fikarohana nataoko momba ny fampiasàna ireo fitaovam-piadiana tsy manaraka ny lalàna tao Gaza, nobahanana ny mailaka sy ny kaontiko Facebook, Ary naharay torohevitra henjana be aho fa hoe tandindonin-doza ny aiko ka mila mangina sy milamina aho. |
31 | But I'm not going anywhere. | Saingy tsy mankaiza tsy mankaiza aho. |
32 | They may close my communication channels again,but that does not mean I'm not here, I'll find a way to get the information out to you,and I trust you will echo it on, go down with it to the streets ,And demand your representatives, your government to stop funding the slaughter in your name,to boycott Israel and to stop the bloodshed in Gaza. | Mety hakaton-dry zareo indray ny fantsom-pifandraisako, saingy tsy midika izany fa hoe tsy eto aho, hahita làlana hatrany aho hampitàna ny vaovao ho any aminareo, ary matoky anareo aho amin'ny fampitàna azy, ento midina eny an'arabe izany. Ary takio amin'ireo solontenanareo, ny governemantanareo ny hampiatoany ny famatsiana io fandripahana amin'ny anaranareo io, bodoy Israely ary atsaharo ny fandatsahan-drà ao Gaza. |
33 | The whole world is watching now, history is being made. | Mijery anareo izao tontolo izao, an-dalam-panoratana ny tantara. |
34 | I'm counting on you. | Matoky anareo aho |
35 | The Shuja'iyya massacre took place during intense fighting between Hamas forces and the Israeli military. | Nitranga nandritry ny fifampiifirana henjana teo amin'ny tafiky ny Hamas sy ny miaramila Israeliana ilay vonomoka tao Shuja'iyya. |
36 | The killing resulted in the death of 72 Palestinians, among whom 17 were children. | Niafara tamin'ny fahafatesana Palestiniana 72, ka 17 tamin'ireo no ankizy. |
37 | It also resulted in the death of 13 Israeli soldiers. | Niteraka fahafatesana miaramila Israeliana 13 ihany koa io. |
38 | The video of the wounded Palestinian who was shot by a sniper was released by the International Solidarity Movement and can be viewed below. | Ny Hetsika Firaisankina Iraisam-pirenena no namoaka ilay lahatsary ahitàna ilay Palestiniana naratra notifirin'ny mpitily ary afaka jerena eto ambany. |
39 | [Warning: The video is graphic, viewer's discretion advised.] | [Tandremo: Maherisetra ity lahatsary ity, ilaina ny fahatsiarovantenan'ny mpijery.]. |
40 | The massacre was described by Amnesty International as tantamount to possible war crimes: | Nofaritan'ny Amnesty International ho mifanahantsahana amin'ny heloka an'ady ilay vonomoka: |
41 | The continuing bombardment of civilian homes in several areas of the Gaza Strip, as well as the Israeli shelling of a hospital, add to the list of possible war crimes that demand an urgent independent international investigation, said Amnesty International. […] | Ny daroka baomba tsy mitsahatra atao amin'ireo tranon'olon-tsotra any amin'ireo faritra maro ao Gaza, hatramin'ny fandarohan'ny Israeliana ny hopitaly iray, dia manampy ny lisitry ny heloka an'ady izay mitaky fanadihadiana tsy miandàny faran'izay maika, hoy ny Amnesty International. […] |
42 | The Israeli military said that Shuja'iyyeh, a densely populated area with some 92,000 residents east of Gaza City, had been targeted because it was a “fortress” housing rockets, tunnels and command centres. | Nolazain'ny miaramila Israeliana fa natao lasibatra i Shuja'iyyeh, faritra iray be mponina misy eo amin'ny olona 92.000 eo ho eo any atsinanan'i Gaza satria izy no “mànda tsara aro” fitehirizana ireo bala afomanga, misy tonelina ary foibe fibaikoana. |
43 | Israeli military and government officials have repeatedly said that civilians were warned to evacuate the area days before it was attacked. | Naverimberin'ny tafika Israeliana sy ny manampahefana ao amin'ny governemanta fa efa andro maro talohan'ny nanafihana azy no nilazàna ireo olon-tsotra mba handao ny faritra. |
44 | However, many civilians in Shuja'iyyeh and other areas did not evacuate because they had nowhere to go. | Kanefa, maro ireo olon-tsotra tao Shuja'iyyeh sy ireo faritra hafa no tsy nandao ny toerana satria tsy manana toerana haleha. |
45 | All the UNRWA schools and other facilities opened as shelters are overflowing. | Feno hipoka ireo sekoly an'ny UNRWA sy ireo fotodrafitrasa hafa nosokafana natao ho toeram-pialofana. |
46 | Issuing warnings to evacuate entire areas does not absolve Israeli forces of their obligations to protect civilians under international humanitarian law. | |
47 | “The relentless bombardment of Shuja'iyyeh and other civilian areas in the Gaza Strip, as well as the continuing indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israel, demand urgent international action to prevent further violations. | Tsy mahafaka ny andraikitry ny tafika Israeliana amin'ny fiarovana ny olon-tsotra manoloana ny lalàna iraisam-pirenena momba ny maha-olombelona akory ny famoahana fiampitandremana mba handaozana ny faritra manontolo. |
48 | The UN should impose an arms embargo on all sides, and all states should immediately suspend transfers of military equipment to Israel, Hamas, and other Palestinian armed groups in the Gaza Strip,” said Philip Luther. Medecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders accused Israel of indiscriminate bombing: | “Ny zera baomba tsy misy fitsaharany ao Shuja'iyyeh sy ireo faritra sivily hafa ao Gaza, hatramin'ny fandefasana bala afomanga atao an-jambany mankany Israely dia mitaky fandraisana andraikitra faran'izay maika avy amin'ny sehatra iraisam-pirenena mba hisorohana ny hisian'ny fanitsakitsahana vaovao indray. |
49 | “While official claims that the objective of the ground offensive is to destroy tunnels into Israel, what we see on the ground is that bombing is indiscriminate and that those who die are civilians,” said Nicolas Palarus, MSF's project coordinator in Gaza. | Tokony hametraka fahirano ho an'ny roa tonta amin'ny resaka fitaovam-piadiana ny Firenena Mikambana, ary tokony haaton'ny firenena rehetra avy hatrany ny fandefasana fitaovam-piadiana mankany Israely, Hamas, sy ireo vondrona Palestiniana hafa mitam-piadiana any amin'ny faritr'i Gaza ,” hoy i Philip Luther. |
50 | At the time of writing, Israel's “Operation Protective Edge” has claimed the lives of more than 1,650 and wounded nearly 9,000 Palestinians. | |
51 | Israel says the assault is targeting Hamas for firing hundreds of rockets across the border into Israel. | Medecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders dia niampanga ny daroka baomba an-jambany ataon'i Israely : |
52 | Seventy-five percent of the Palestinians killed in this offensive have been civilians. Since the offensive started on June 8, 62 Israeli soldiers have been killed in fighting in Gaza, and three civilians killed and around 400 injured in rocket attacks in Israel. | “Raha toa ny manampahefana manamafy fa ny hamotika ireo tonelina mankany Israely no tanjona amin'ireo fanafihana an-tanety, ny hitantsika kosa eny an-kianja dia zera baomba an-jambany ary olon-tsotra no maty amin'izany,” hoy i Nicolas Palarus, mpandrindra ny tetikasan'ny MSF ao Gaza. |
53 | Besides being a member of Anarchists Against the Wall and the pro-BDS Boycott from Within, Efrati was a member of Breaking The Silence*, an Israeli NGO comprised of former IDF soldiers whose aim is “to raise awareness amongst the public about the reality of everyday life in the Occupied Territories.” | |
54 | Here's a lecture he gave in Colorado as part of The Soldier and the Refusenik U.S. tour with Maya Wind a few months ago: | Tamin'ny fotoana nanaoratana ity, nahafatesana Palestiniana maherin'ny 1.650 ary naharatràna efa ho 9.000 ilay lazain'i Israely fa “Hetsika Sisintany Fiarovana”. |
55 | This is Israel's third military operation in Gaza in 6 years. | Telo ambienimpolo ihany koa ny miaramila Israeliana maty, miampy olon-tsotra roa sy teratany Thai iray. |
56 | Israel has bombed residential neighborhoods, schools, a playground, hospitals, shelters and refugee camps. | Manodidina ny 400 no naratra. |
57 | On July 28, Israel attacked the only power plant in Gaza, plunging the congested strip of 1.8 million people into darkness. UN shelters are struggling to accommodate more than 250,000 Gaza residents who are fleeing the violence or whose homes have been destroyed by bombings. | Ilaina ny manamarika fa ankoatry ny maha-mpikambana azy ao amin'ny Anarchists Against the Wall sy ny mpomba ny BDS Boycott from Within, Efrati dia mpikambana ao amin'ny Breaking The Silence (Mamaky Fahanginana), ONG Israeliana ivondronan'ireo miaramila taloha tao amin'ny IDF izay ny tonjony dia “hanaitra ny fahatsiarovantenan'ny olona momba ny zava-misy iainana isanandro any amin'ireo Tany Voabodo.” |
58 | Six UN shelters have come under attack by Israeli forces. | |
59 | Excessive restrictions from Israel in the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank is why most of the world and the United Nations considers this territory “occupied” by Israel. | |
60 | [*Editor's note: An earlier version of this story said that Efrati is a member of Breaking The Silence. He is no longer involved in it and has not worked with this organisation for four years.] | Ity ny lahateny iray nataony tao Colorado, ampahany tamin'ilay fihodinana an'i Etazonia nomena anarana hoe The Soldier and the Refusenik (Ilay miaramila sy ny fandàvana fifindrà-monina) niarahany tamin'i Maya Wind volana vitsy lasa izay: |
