The War Criminal Maj. Gen. Moshe Kaplinsky is 51 years old. He was born in Israel.
Kaplinsky is a veteran of previous Lebanon campaigns.
Kaplinsky is a psychopath from the Golani Bigade and a war criminal who was involved in murdering civilians during the war against Lebanon in Syria and in Lebanon as a commander of ground troops.
In 1982 Kaplinsky was appointed commander of the Golani reconnaissance unit. He took part in the Lebanon invasion against the PLO organizations, and he was wounded lightly in that war.
1990-1993, Kaplinsky was a commander of Golani unit and the Hermon Regional Brigade, two units of psychopaths involved in war crimes in the south of Lebanon.
Ariel Sharon appointed Kaplinsky as his military secretary after he was elected prime minister in 2001.
Maj. Gen. Moshe Kaplinsky is a former Deputy Chief of General Staff.
In August 2002, Kaplinsky took over as General Officer Commanding, Central Command, from Major General Yitzhak Eitan. This was at the beginning of the intifada.
Under Kaplinskys command the IDF soldiers shelled Palestinians cities in the West Bank, and destroyed the infrastructure of the social, educational, economical organizations. Hundreds were assassinated, thousands were arrested, and hundreds of houses were demolished.
In March 2005, Kaplinsky was appointed as Israeli Defense Forces' deputy chief of the general staff.
On 8 August 2006, Kaplinsky was appointed by Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz as his personal representative in the war on the northern front, to coordinate land, sea, and air operations in Lebanon.
Under the command of war criminal Kaplinsky, the Israeli military dropped more than 3.5 million cluster bombs in the last three days of the war in Lebanon.
Kaplinsky ordered his soldier to drop cluster bombs on southern Lebanon after Israel had already agreed to withdraw from Lebanon under a UN cease-fire resolution. This is a clear case of commission of grave crimes of war.
Up to one million bomblets did not explode but rather remain scattered in homes, fields, trees, and schools, waiting to be set off by any civilian passing by.
By 22 April 2007, 30 people were killed and 203 injured by cluster bombs left over from the war.
