With respect to statements from the IDF, or any other military organization: we all realize that these organizations exist ostensibly to advance the policy goals of their parent nations and not to provide the clear, unvarnished, enlightening truth about their activities, right?
So we should trust official statements from the IDF or the Pentagon as much as we should trust that guy on late night TV on the pretend talk show talking about how his book is full of things "the experts don't want you to know." None of these folks is necessarily lying about everything, but they have shown over and over that they have no qualms about telling really big lies when it suits their purposes.
