Tel Aviv- Israeli soldiers refuse to return to the battlefield in Gaza. Haaretz reported that a group of soldiers from the Givati Brigade refused to participate in military operations in Gaza, accusing the military of neglecting their mental and physical well-being.
The Givati Brigade played a key role when the Israeli army launched a ground war in Gaza at the end of October last year. The army was forced to temporarily withdraw this brigade after losing many commanders and members in the most difficult war in Gaza.
According to the report, soldiers told field commanders that they did not have the mental strength to return to the battlefield. They also expressed fear that their lives would be in danger. According to the newspaper, the army chiefs have not yet made a decision regarding the soldiers’ refusal to join the war.
Israeli army figures indicate that 15 soldiers were wounded in the past 24 hours. A total of 2,897 soldiers have been injured since October 7. Of these, 437 people were seriously injured. The army says 1,352 soldiers have been wounded in the ground war in the Gaza Strip.
352 soldiers are still undergoing treatment in hospitals. 569 Israeli soldiers have been killed since October 7, including in the ground war.
