Eisenberg and Malka charged

Gaza Division Commander Brig. Gen. Eyal Eisenberg and Givati Brigade Commander Col. Ilan Malka have been disciplined "for exceeding their authority in a manner that jeopardized the lives of others" when ordering fire missions on Gaza's Tel al-Hawa neighborhood.

Naturally, the use of WP rounds in the fire mission was not a subject of the disciplinary action, as the issue there is whether the fire mission's use of WP was a legitimate exercise of masking fire, or illumination, or not. If not, it was the use of WP against a civilian population, and therefore a war crime. Look at the photo above. Legitimate use (fusing sufficient to provide smoke and light only) or not?

What about this one? Same elevation, same fire mission, same munitions. Notice any difference in fusing? This is what Gaza Division Commander Brig. Gen. Eyal Eisenberg and Givati Brigade Commander Col. Ilan Malka have been disciplined for, jeopardized the lives of others when using 155mm tubes to deliver WP at the ground level as an area denial fire mission ... targeting a densely inhabited area which included this UN school.
