New York, June 6 (RHC)-- A U.S. Army officer who resigned to protest the Biden administration’s Gaza policies has spoken publicly for the first time. 

In an interview with CBS News, Major Harrison Mann, who worked at the Defense Intelligence Agency, criticized Israel’s war on Gaza.

Harrison Mann told CBS News: “They were dropping 6,000 bombs a day.  They were burning through munitions.  You know, it was very easy to link our support, which I was part of, to the killing in Gaza.”

CBS News correspondent Jim Axelrod said: “What bothered this intelligence officer specializing in the Middle East the most, his view that the Israelis were targeting Palestinian civilians indiscriminately and that U.S. weapons made it possible."

And Axelrod asked: "Were the Israelis using American weapons against civilians in Gaza?”  Towhich Harrison Mann respondened: “I can say almost certainly yes.”

And when Jim Axelrod asked: “But were they doing so intentionally?”   Harrison Mann quipped: “I don’t know how you kill 35,000 civilians by accident.”
