Iris Haim, mother of the late Yotam Haim who was kidnapped to the Gaza Strip and accidentally shot by IDF forces, spoke about the questions that remain unanswered since his death. In an interview on Gadi Taub's podcast 'Shomer Hasaf', she said the family requested from the IDF the communications recordings from Yotam's final moments but has not yet received satisfactory answers. She claims her son was seen by Israeli officers and shouted in Hebrew, 'Help, you're killing me.' "They heard his speech in Hebrew. The battalion commander of the force heard Yotam speaking in clear Hebrew," she said. Haim added that the family is left with a 'black hole' of information from that day and noted there is doubt whether the battalion commander shouted his ceasefire order in a way that could reach the IDF soldiers. The soldiers who hit and killed him say no order was given, while the battalion commander claims it was given and everyone heard it. "I have tough and piercing questions about the battalion commander and whether he is lying to us," she said.
