Yesha rabbi: IDF allowed to hurt civilians

[Classical_Liberal]

The chairman of the Yesha rabbinical council, rabbi Dov Lior, on Wednesday said that the Israel Defense Forces are allowed to hurt so called innocent civilians during warfare.

"The law of our Torah is to have mercy on our soldiers and to save them. This is the real moral behind Israel's Torah and we must not feel guilty due to foreign morals," he said.

A similar ruling was made in the past by rabbi Lior on the backdrop of the fighting at the Jenin refugee camp.
