"'A month and a half ago, in a parking lot near a café in central Beersheba, I spoke with two young men who were sitting in a car. One of them had a serious head injury, and it turned out that he had fought in Gaza and was wounded there.
During the conversation, I finally asked him if he was receiving good treatment. He replied, 'Excellent, both physically and psychologically.' I wished him well, but he suddenly said, 'I will never be well. You understand? I was a sniper in Gaza. After I killed 200 people, I stopped counting.'
I was shocked and asked him if there were others like him. He replied, 'Of course, I know someone from a moshav near Sderot… He stopped counting after 400 dead.'
I asked him if there were children among the victims. He replied hesitantly: 'I don’t have any, but in general, yes.' Then he paused for a moment, sighed and said: 'Yes, there were children, there were children.'
