JERUSALEM — Israel’s military condemned soldiers for wearing T-shirts of a pregnant woman in a rifle’s crosshairs with the slogan “1 Shot 2 Kills,” and another of a gun-toting child with the words, “The smaller they are, the harder it is.”

The T-shirts were worn by some Israeli Defense Forces to mark the end of basic training and other military courses, the Haaretz newspaper reported.

The appearance of the T-shirts followed allegations of misconduct by Israeli troops during the three-week Gaza war. Palestinian officials say about 1,400 Palestinians were killed, most of them civilians. Thirteen Israelis died, three of them civilians.

The army said it would not tolerate the T-shirts and would take disciplinary action against the soldiers involved, although it was not clear how many wore the shirts or how widely they were distributed.

Haaretz said the shirts were made at the unit level, indicating that they were made for small numbers of troops — perhaps several dozen at a time. The Tel Aviv factory that made many of the shirts, Adiv, refused to comment.
