Breaking the Silence is facing legal action after two IDF soldiers who served during Operation Protective Edge filed a unique lawsuit in an Israeli court against the organization and Yaron Zeev, a former member of their tank crew, for defamation and “spreading lies and fabrications.”
According to the lawsuit, Ze’ev, who served with the plaintiffs in the same tank, gave Breaking the Silence false testimony about their activities during the counterterrorism operation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip in the summer of 2014. It was on that basis that Breaking the Silence conducted a campaign around the world, which presented the State of Israel and the IDF as perpetrators of war crimes.
