The phrase: “Messing with the ground” (Breaking the Silence)

https://www.breakingthesilence.org.il/testimonies/database/154077
———

A testimony from an Israeli (ex-?)soldier with a rank of Captain, serving in 2024:

“…’Messing with the ground;’ … It could be a million things ... [But in Gaza,] messing with the ground is a code name for planting an explosive device, always. That’s the suspicion, … all kinds of overhead drone footage, you see it from a distance, in two dimensions. … you don't really have the ability to see what a person is doing; you can only suspect and run through a risk management assessment ... Given that the [off-limits ] Netzarim Corridor … if someone enters it and messes with the ground, it’s grounds for opening fire. You don’t know that he’s planting an explosive device. It could be a civilian, in varying percentages. And the numbers …[given to] the public … “We killed X number of terrorists” … it’s total bullshit, because we don’t know…”
