On Tuesday, the Israeli military said Dinar misspoke. In a statement, the military said it “does not operate under the assumption that anyone who approaches is a combatant and have clear orders to verify, by all means available in the field, that a potential threat or combatant is not a civilian prior to opening fire.” In regard to the shots fired at the car, the statement said, “The circumstances are unclear and the video footage does not give a full picture of the tactical environment nor the circumstances preceding the incident.”
