Israeli military chiefs fell out in an explosive shouting match over the sheer number of Palestinians killed by IDF airstrikes, according to local media.
Major General Yaniv Asor, head of the army’s southern command, is said to have complained to the air force that it was consistently overruling bombing requests for targets in Gaza, which has already been decimated since Israel began its siege of the enclave.
In response, Major General Tomer Bar, the head of Israel's air force, said that many of requests made by Asor's subordinates were killing civilians and showed a 'lack of professionalism.'
Local media reported that the argument only spiralled from there, resulting in the senior military figures screaming at each other in front of top officers.
The spat required Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, chief of staff at the IDF to intervene, witnesses said.
