The daily Haaretz newspaper states that reservist soldiers simply don’t care about the high risk punishment. Their main concern is the heavy losses the Israeli army is facing in the enclave.
This piece of news is trending on the social media. One writes these reserve soldiers are declaring their refusal to return to military service.
Thirty reserve soldiers in the Paratroopers Brigade said they refused to serve in the military operations in Rafah. According to the Hebrew Channel 12 their refusal to participate emenates from their state of exhaustion after seven months of battles in Gaza.

Gaza Update
They Learned it From the Brits
The Israel Defense Forces have said they are investigating an incident in which soldiers strapped a wounded Palestinian man to the bonnet of a military vehicle during a raid in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Saturday.
But Mujahed was the worse to suffer. He was beaten and shot twice both in the hand and leg. As he fell down in front of the vehicle, one Israeli soldier shot him in the leg. But this was just the beginning because the soldiers decided they wanted a show.
“As soon as the Israeli soldiers arrived, they stepped on my head, they stepped on my head while I was wounded. They hit me in the face, kicked me, hit me on the wound in my leg and twisted and injured my hand…”
With the young men sprawelled in pain on the floor, four soldiers picked him by the arms and legs and hurled him onto the hood of the armored vehicle but he fell down again. The soldiers did it again, this time he maintained position on of the car.
"They were laughing while beating me"

This is the why he put it. “Every bone was broken. They completely broken the bones in my hand and my leg and they laughed about it and played while they beat me. Two of the soldiers grabbed my hands and two others my feet and started waving me back and forth and throwing me onto the front of the military car, but I fell to the ground.”
But the sadistic fun continued. The soldiers strapped him to the front the vehicle and rode around for another 15 minutes in the different areas of camp before they let him go.
“It was scorching hot he says and my back was burning and I stayed there for 20 minites,” he was reported as saying from his hospital bed.
“He had an open fracture and last a part of his tissues, muscles and skin,~” said Bahaa Abu Hammad, an orthopaedic doctor.
“He was treated in A & E, the wounds were washed, antibiotics, given and X-rays were taken, it later became clear that there was a complicated fracture of the right femur and humerus. He underwent emergency surgery, during which, the fractures were stabilized externally and will require internal fixation at a later date.”

New Delhi has been supplying Israel with artillery shells, drones and other weapons on a regular basis. It supplied Israel the advanced Hermes 900 drones that have been towering over the skies of Gaza for the last nine months.
The Hermes 900 is a drone that can be used for surveillance and aerial bombardment and have already been in active deployment in the Gaza Strip.
India joins the USA, France, Britain, Germany and Canada as an Israeli constant military supplier to keep Israel’s devastating war on Gaza going and resulted in the killing of more than 37,000 people and injured 85,000 today combined with the mass bombings of the houses, schools, infrastructure, government buildings and more.
Just In:— India has been supplying Israel with artillery shells, light weapons, and advanced "Hermes 900" drones since the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas fighters.

Traditionally it has been Israel that exported hardware military equipment to India, however, Tel Aviv’s war on Gaza has turned things around. Now, it is India that is the main exporter of arms to Israel.
It continued with the 27-ton explosives shipment that India tried to send to Israel through Spanish ports last May. But today this relationship continues as India has become crucial in providing Israel with ammunition through joint deals between Israeli and Indian defence contracting companies.
I can't quarrel with facts. Perhaps the original tweet was wrong. But there is enough evidence now to see India indeed supplies weapons to Israel https://t.co/skleEsPRP3 . Apram lodu na Enna da punda?
The military relationship underscores the close ties that developed between India and Israeli under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Narendra Modi who become the first Indian Prime Minister to visit Israel and 2017.
Today India and Israel are regarded as key allies, underlined by the fact that the latter has become a huge destination for Indian tourists.
However, the ex-Israeli ambassador in New Delhi Daniel Carmon put the relation between the two countries in an overall context. He said India might be supplying weapons to Israel as a gesture of gratitude for Israel assistance during the Kargil war of 1999 as reported in the Quds News Network.
https://t.me/QudsNen/110997
“The Indians always remind us that Israel was there for them during the Kargil war. Israel was one of the few countries that stood by them and provided them with weapons. The Indians don’t forget this and might now be returning the favor,” Carmon stated.
The comments of the former diplmat came amid reports confirming India has supplied drones and artillery shells to Israel during its ongoing war on Gaza, which international bodies like the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice have ruled as involving serious war crimes committed by Israel.
However despite the developing close relations India have always backed a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict when India established a PLO office in the country in the 1970s.
Further, in 2108 Modi made it a point of visiting Ramallah as part of a regional visit to Jordan and the Arab Gulf countries and in an effort to balance India’s foreign policy in the Middle East.
A total of 18,000 Israeli women can now carry guns as approved by the authorities and as they go about their daily business.

The latest figure is trending on the social media. Since 7 October 2023, the number of Israeli women applying for a license to carry a gun shot up to 42,000.

And therefore the number of gun licenses carried by Israeli women is triple the pre-7 October number and is likely to go up.
More than 15,000 Israeli settler women in the West Bank now carry guns and the number being trained to carry firearms stand at 10,000.
I’d missed this @JonathanMetzl piece when it came out, but it’s a fascinating and troubling first look at a phenomenon that I’d noted in news reports but not yet seen a scholar address: https://t.co/kLnAN4C1Bl
Israel has violated Lebanese airspace 1000 times said the Lebanese Minister of Public Works and Transport Ali Hamiyah.
وزير النقل اللبناني: – كل ما كتب في صحيفة التلغراف غير صحيح. – لا سـ.ـلاح يُهرَّب عبر مطار رفيق الحريري. – ندعو السفراء وكل وسائل الإعلام لجولة ميدانية في كل مرافق مطار رفيق الحريري صباح غد. – #إسرائيل نفذت نحو 1000 خرق للأجواء اللبنانية. pic.twitter.com/4kOqYCCuyn
The Minister said in a press conference Lebanon is filing a lawsuit against the Daily Telegraph because it reported that the Rafiq Al Hariri International Airport in Beirut was being used to smuggle weapons.
He added all that was written by the London daily is “incorrect” and tarnishes the reputation of the airport.
🔴 متابعة صفا| وزير النقل اللبناني:
▪️ "إسرائيل" نفذت نحو 1000 خرق للأجواء اللبنانية
▪️ نحن في طور إعداد دعوى قضائية ضد صحيفة التلغراف لأن بيانها يشوه سمعة مطار الحريري
▪️ ندعو السفراء وكل وسائل الإعلام لجولة ميدانية في كل مرافق مطار رفيق الحريري صباح غد
Further Minister Hamiyah on all foreign ambassadors to Lebanon and the media to visit the airport and inspect all of its sections to see for themselves.
Also we want to send a message through foreign ambassadors to the Israeli enemy to stop violating the airspace above the Rafiq Al Hariri Airport, he added.
