IDF's International Spokesperson, Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus Explains

LTC (res) Jonathan Conricus is the main spokesman for IDF explaining what is happening in Gaza. this Lieutenant Colonel was born in 1979 and is 44 years old, and speaks perfect English with the gift of explaining very well.    I made aliyah in 1980 to Haifa from the Pacific Northwest.  It's hard to believe, but he was only one year old then.  IDF spokesperson says scenes from Al-Shifa hospital are "the unfortunate results of Hamas' choices." Their choices have been to hide weaponry in al Shifa Hospital in Gaza. They dug tunnels the go under the hospital where they bring in ammunition and terrorists. They hide behind their civilians.

I just saw him speak from the Front on ILTV that I get on YouTube, so he's not in the reserves but in active duty. I saw him expose the countless Hamas weapons IDF troops have uncovered in the Shifa Hospital’s MRI building.

Whoever is writing his script when he speaks is doing a fantastic job.  It may even be Jonathan himself.  I'm not sure if this is the first time the IDF has had an international spokesman or not, but the conditions being what they are today, it is highly needed.  One cannot depend on the news media to give the untarnished facts without constantly blaming Israel as they usually do, with their anti-Semitic feeling coming through, and he is the answer.
