The fact that uninvolved civilians and innocent children were killed, saddens me. I regret that... Air Force policy is to employ the minimal force required to accomplish the mission... If someone of those who took part in that operation would know this would be the tragic result – it would be canceled postponed. A proof for this, is that the operation was already postponed number of times, because information we had about probable innocents around the terrorist Salah Shehade... I (give great value) to the issue of responsibility distribution between the commander and his subordinates, between the pilots and those who sent to the mission, and therefore I told (them) to sleep well at nights.
