Released Captive Edan Alexander Rejoins Israeli Army

Edan Alexander, an Israeli-American soldier released from imprisonment, announced he will return to Israel next month to rejoin the Israeli military as it continues its genocide in Gaza.

Alexander spent 584 days in inprisonment, which he called “the hardest period of my life.” At a press conference, he said, “My story does not end with survival, it continues in service until victory!”

He added, “Next month, God willing, I will return to Israel and once again wear the IDF uniform, and I will proudly serve alongside my brothers.”

Alexander’s release came as part of mediation efforts to reach a ceasefire, open Gaza’s crossings, and allow humanitarian aid into the besieged territory. Hamas resistance movement had described the release as a gesture of “positivity and high flexibility” and urged international actors, including the US, to build on it to secure a full agreement.

Alexander grew up in the United States and joined the Israeli military at 18. He volunteered as a colonizer and served in the Golani Brigade out of ideological commitment according to the Quds News Network.

According to the testimonies, as IDF soldiers leave Lebanon, they load stolen items onto their vehicles openly, without attempting to conceal them. “It’s on a crazy scale,” one soldier said. “Anyone who takes something – televisions, cigarettes, tools, whatever – immediately puts it in their vehicle or leaves it off to the side, not inside the army base, but it’s not hidden. Everyone sees it and understands.” – The Palestine Project
