A Soldier’s Reckoning in Gaza: duty, doubt and moral injury

An Israeli infantryman testifies to Breaking the Silence about Gaza 2023–24, describing hazy rules of engagement, mass demolitions, and the use of Palestinians as human shields (the ‘mosquito protocol’), choices that left him morally unsettled and ashamed. The piece argues the war’s brutality reflects systemic policy as much as individual actions, notes rising PTSD and moral injury among soldiers, and highlights the ongoing tension between public narratives and the soldiers’ private reckoning, with limited accountability from authorities to date.

Two Palestinians, including a 14-year-old, killed as settlers attack West Bank village

Two Palestinians were killed in al-Mughayyir village in the West Bank during an attack by Jewish settlers and Israeli soldiers. The victims included Aws al-Naasan, 14, and Jihad Abu Naim, 32. Palestinian officials blamed settler gunfire and alleged coordination with the Israeli army, while Israel said troops dispersed a violent confrontation after a report of stones thrown at an Israeli car. The incident fits a wider pattern of rising settler violence in 2026, with UN figures showing dozens killed, hundreds injured, and thousands displaced across the West Bank.

"Iran Seizes Ship Linked to Israel, Transfers to Iranian Territory"

The Israeli army reinforces its presence in the West Bank following the murder of a missing Israeli teen and settler rampages, while families of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza protest outside the Israeli army's headquarters, accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of sabotaging potential deals for their release. Protests against the government and for the release of hostages are expected to take place across Israel, and the New York Times editorial board calls on the U.S. to condition military aid to Israel. Additionally, a press photographer was attacked by settlers during confrontations in the West Bank.

"Israeli Army Withdrawal Leaves Wasteland at Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital"

Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, once a vital part of the health system, now lies in ruins after a battle between Israeli soldiers and Gazan gunmen. The hospital, the largest in Gaza, was left disfigured after a 12-day battle and an earlier raid by the Israeli military, with its emergency department and surgery department heavily damaged. The Israeli Army brought journalists to witness the destruction, stating that there were still gunmen inside one building and a group of patients and doctors in another.

Israeli Army Thwarts Protesters Blocking Humanitarian Aid to Gaza

The Israeli army has intervened to prevent right-wing protesters from blocking humanitarian aid trucks from entering the Gaza Strip at the Kerem Shalom border crossing, deploying roadblocks and declaring the area a closed military zone. This comes after a week of demonstrations by protesters aiming to prevent aid from reaching Gaza, with one protester stating, "You don't aid the enemy in time of war, and the Gazans are part of the enemy."

"Israeli Soldiers' Deaths in Gaza: A Focus on Friendly Fire and Accidents"

Israeli soldiers have suffered a significant number of casualties from friendly fire and accidents during the conflict in Gaza, with nearly a fifth of fatalities attributed to such incidents. The unique challenges of urban combat in densely populated areas, the young age of many soldiers, and the lack of a comprehensive military strategy have contributed to these high casualty rates. The Israeli military's approach has raised concerns about its tactical and strategic conduct, with calls for more restrained and thoughtful operations in Gaza.
