The next time Israel goes to war, its combat soldiers will likely be carrying cameras in addition to more conventional weapons.
Reeling from war crimes accusations during an offensive against Hamas-ruled Gaza more than two years ago, the Israeli military is studying the wide distribution of cameras as a tool to make its case to the world.
However, critics say the military would never be able to prove such images weren’t edited.
The idea is that each infantry company would have a trained cameraman, just like it has a trained medic, a radio operator and a heavy machine gun specialist. — ap
