		Rafael "Raful" Eitan, who drowned in the Mediterranean on Monday aged 75, was a leading figure in the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), of which he became Chief of Staff.
		In 1949, after the War of Independence, Eitan left the army and returned to Tel Adashim, but he rejoined the IDF in January 1954 after a friend approached him saying: "The Arabs are killing Jews and you are milking cows." A year later he was given command of a paratroop platoon.
		On October 29 1956, Eitan, by then commander of the 890 Paratroop Battalion, was parachuted with his 395 men close to the Suez Canal in an action which provided the pretext for the British and French governments to join the war and recapture the Canal, nationalised by Nasser on July 26.

		The dead man was Rafael Eitan, a notorious Israeli chief-of-staff whose name will forever be associated with the horrific massacre of more than a thousand Palestinian men, women and children at the Sabra and Chatila refugee camps in Lebanon in 1982.
		The case of Captain R. Eitan's de-humanizing influence on the 'culture' of the IDF may be seen today in the criminal behavior of Israeli troops in the occupied Palestinian territories, as they use heavy weapons against residential areas, kill at random, destroy homes and orchards and humiliate the local population.
		The drowning of Rafael Eitan is a reminder of Israel's invasion of Lebanon more than twenty years ago and its savage 70-day siege of Beirut, when the Lebanese capital was subjected to a relentless barrage of indiscriminate air, naval and artillery bombardment.
