This is rich coming from this Israeli forces"lawyer".
The reality is that it is Israel that uses helicopter gunships and air force raids on civilian populations. It is Israel that treats Gaza as an open air prison. And the UN identifies territories under Israeli control as Occupied territories. There is no comparison between Israel and India in this regard.
The army is by and large absent from civilian areas except when there is an operation going. Before1989, there was no army prescence in civilian areas. Even in the current situation it is only the local police and CRPF that is involved. Neither the Army nor the Border forces were present.
In India that army is under the civilian govt. and if some "general" makes irrational statments like this, he would be liable for some serious questioning. This just shows how Israeli-Indian relationship even on a military level has to be watched carefully.
