Human Rights Watch has accused Israeli soldiers of unlawfully killing 11 Palestinian civilians during the War on Gaza.
The civilians - which included five women and four children - were holding white flags when they were shot dead.
To counter criticism, the Israeli government has launched a campaign to discredit human rights groups.
Al Jazeera spoke to Avital Leibovich, the Israeli army's spokesperson, about its response.
