A former Israeli general has said that his investigation into Israel’s air strike attack on a tower housing media offices in the Gaza Strip in May caused more damage to Israel’s image than it provided operational benefit.
Retired Major General Nitzan Alon, who led an investigation into the incident before leaving the military, said the bombing, which destroyed offices used by the Associated Press, Al Jazeera, Middle East Eye and at least four other agencies, amounted to an “own goal”, a term used to describe a player kicking the ball into their own team’s net in football.
