Former Green Beret (US Army special forces) and contractor, Anthony Aguilar, revealed the chilling orders from the Israeli military in an interview with US Senator Chris Van Hollen aired by his office on Tuesday.

Aguilar said that an Israeli lieutenant colonel ordered him to get the Palestinian children off a man’s shoulders, on which they were standing, to avoid being crushed by a crowd of starving people trying to retrieve aid.

“A Palestinian man had picked up some children to let them step on his shoulders to get onto a berm because they were being crushed. He [the Israeli officer] says, ‘Tell your men to get them down,’” Aguilar told Van Hollen. “I was like, ‘we got this under control’…they’re children.”

The Israeli officer erupted, Aguilar recalled, threatening, “Get them down now or I will.”
