'Baseless': Urban warfare researcher John Spencer battles war crimes accusations against Israel
John Spencer, urban warfare researcher and retired US officer claims that Israel went above and beyond what was expected of a state in an attempt to prevent harm to non-combatants.
"The war in Gaza is different from almost any other war I have seen," he continued. "The terrain, the density of tunnels under population centers, the nature of the enemy, and the presence of hostages - all of these combine to make this war one that is particularly difficult to conduct without bloodshed.
"What I saw in Gaza convinced me that Israel took the necessary steps to avoid civilian casualties, even when it was constantly criticized for its conduct in the war."
