    You’re right, good catch.

    It’s a very strange mistake to make on their part, I assume the IDF has many Arabic speakers.

    It’ll be very interesting to see how everything else in the video will unfold.

      No its not, its purposeful disinformation from a group trying to justify war crimes.

      Occam’s razor applies here, and so we look for the simplest, most likely explanation (going by past example). And that explanation is Israeli misinformation. They’ve done it before.

        Are you serious? The simplest explanation is misinformation and not an honest mistake or slip of the tongue? The person presenting the information doesn’t speak fluent English and most likely doesn’t speak fluent Arabic either.

          The simplest explanation is misinformation and not an honest mistake or slip of the tongue?

          Considering that:

          1-The Israeli government is notorious for using misinformation when it fits their purposes,

          2-They have fluent Arabic speakers who could’ve easily checked the evidence, and

          3-There’s no way to mistake a calendar for a list of Hamas soldiers,

          the answer is yes. It’s like if Russia was caught lying with faked evidence and then said “oh it was a mistake”.
