War crimes and secret arrests in Israel
The Facts:
At November 28th 2009 Haaretz newspaper published an IDF document that Shed light on the way the IDF uses the targeted killings procedure.

Targeted Killing is a procedure that allows the IDF to kill suspects in Terror without trial if the IDF has reasons to believe the killing will prevent future terror attacks and that an arrest it not possible.
It’s important to emphasize that the capital punish in Israel only apply for people who took an active part in the attempt to eliminate the Jewish people during the holocaust. (WWII)
The document that was published in Haaretz showed that The IDF authorized the killing of terror suspects that there was a possibility to arrest and more.
It showed that the chief of Central command Yair Naveh and the chief of stuff Gabi Ashkenazi also authorized the limited killing of non suspects during the usage of the targeted killing procedure.
The rumors:
The rumors that are spreading around in Israeli media circles, are about the source that leaked the IDF document to Haaretz news paper and about an Israeli journalist that according to the seventh eye media coverage magazine took an unpaid leave.
Acording to the rumors the journalist is under a house arrest sine late december last year and her de facto retirement from Walla website was forced on her by the Israeli secret service. Until now the only piece about this story that passed the Israeli Military Censor was this.
If any of this story is true it means that this is the first time in Israel since the Kav 300 affair that the Israeli secret service and the Israeli Military Censor are acting in a legal cover up and not in securing the safety of the Israeli public.
