News - Middle East: New revelations show that an Israeli general killed settlers during Operation Al-Aqsa Storm launched by Gaza-based resistance fighters against the regime, and then lied about the incident.

The Israeli Keshet 12 television channel lately released previously unseen footage of an Israeli tank firing at a civilian home in Kibbutz Be’eri, which lies just a few miles east of the Gaza Strip, on October 7.
The new evidence shows that the Israeli commander on the scene, identified as Brigadier General Barak Hiram, lied to an Israeli journalist about what happened in the settlement that day.
This amounts to an attempted cover-up by a senior military officer, with media complicity.
But far from being held in any way accountable, Hiram is soon set to take up his new role as commander of the Gaza Division, the Israeli army brigade that suffered a humiliating defeat from Palestinian forces on October 7.
In an interview with Ilana Dayan, the host of Keshet 12’s investigative program Uvda on October 26, Hiram gave a false account of the efforts to rescue settlers in Be’eri.
He also fabricated atrocity propaganda, claiming that Palestinian fighters had tied up and killed 10 civilians in the kibbutz.
