Recently, there have been a series of serious disciplinary problems with Israeli soldiers on the battlefields of Gaza, including the manslaughter of detainees and the vandalism of shops. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had to come forward with a public apology and announce that it would clean up military discipline. The incident caused an uproar in Israel, with mass demonstrations in Tel Aviv and other places demanding the swift and safe release of other detained Israeli personnel.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed on the 15th that three detained Israelis had been mistakenly killed during fighting in the northern Gaza Strip earlier that day. The incident shocked Israel and sparked anger and discontent among the population. Huge demonstrations erupted in Tel Aviv and other cities, with urgent calls for swift action to ensure the safety of other detained Israelis.
In response to this manslaughter incident, the Israeli army announced the preliminary investigation results on 16 July. According to the investigation, Israeli soldiers and Palestinian militants were fighting fiercely when they suddenly found three topless men walking out, armed with wooden sticks wrapped in white cloths. Israeli soldiers, judging that they were Palestinian fighters, opened fire, killing two people and wounding another and fleeing back into the building. Soon after, the wounded man came out again, shouting "help" in Hebrew, but Israeli soldiers shot him dead again. After completing the autopsy, the Israeli army finally confirmed that the three men were in fact the Israelis who had been detained.
This incident revealed that Israeli soldiers had misjudged and acted inappropriately in the course of their missions, and had seriously violated military discipline. The Israeli army stated that the soldiers could not shoot at the detainees, nor at those who surrendered with the white flag. The occurrence of these acts has had a tremendous negative impact on the image of the Israeli army.
However, the three Israelis who were killed by mistake suffered a lot because of their captivity. It was in their infernal torment that they struggled to the Israeli soldiers, hoping to be rescued, only to be fatally killed. This tragedy is not only deplorable, but also shocking to the callousness and disregard for humanity of the Israeli soldiers.
In addition to manslaughter, there was also a series of social media incidents related to the misconduct of Israeli soldiers during military operations on the battlefield in Gaza. One of the paragraphs** shows an Israeli soldier vandalizing a toy store, smashing toys to the ground and toppling shelves, while the person who recorded ** laughed loudly. In another section, two soldiers set fire to local people's daily necessities stored in a truck.
These misdeeds have caused great public outrage and condemnation among the public. Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari said on the 15th that in any case, these actions are seriously inconsistent with the values of the IDF. These **** have further intensified the questioning of the moral and disciplinary issues of Israeli soldiers.
In response to these serious infractions, the IDF announced that it would take a series of measures to enforce military discipline in order to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents. According to a statement issued by the military on the 16th, the combat forces in the Gaza Strip will be instructed to take relevant measures, including sending an additional senior commander to the battlefield to be responsible for decision-making, and making more detailed and updated firing guidelines.
These measures are designed to improve the sense of discipline and professional ethics of soldiers, and to ensure that they are able to exercise sound judgment and action in the performance of their duties, and to comply with military regulations and international humanitarian law. The goal of the Israeli army is to rescue all the Israelis who have been detained, while also ensuring that discipline on the battlefield is strictly enforced and that unnecessary personnel and escalation of the conflict are avoided.
The frequent occurrence of discipline problems among Israeli soldiers on the battlefield in Gaza has aroused widespread concern and discussion. The mistaken killing of the detained Israelis and the misdeeds sparked public outrage and condemnation. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) bears serious responsibility for this incident and has taken a clear stance on the issue of military discipline and has taken appropriate measures to rectify it.
In the context of war, soldiers perform their tasks in a high-pressure environment, facing various challenges and dangers. However, as guardians of national peace and security, soldiers must always be mindful of their duties and missions, and abide by military regulations and discipline. Observing military discipline is not only a norm within the armed forces, but also a guarantee of the country's image and public trust.
Strict military discipline requires not only corresponding laws and regulations, but also the morality and conscience in the hearts of Israeli soldiers. Military training should focus on cultivating soldiers' professional ethics, humanitarian awareness, and the concept of the rule of law, so that they can correctly judge and handle various complex situations and make decisions that conform to military discipline and humanitarian principles.
In the course of rectifying military discipline, the Israeli army should adopt stricter management and supervision measures to ensure that soldiers' behavior meets the requirements of military discipline. In addition, it is also necessary to strengthen the psychological counseling and guidance of soldiers to help them effectively cope with the psychological pressure and challenges brought about by the war and maintain their sanity and calmness.
Eventually, by overhauling military discipline and strengthening the education and training of soldiers, the Israeli army can restore public trust in it and establish an image of a more disciplined army that meets the standards of international humanitarian law. Only in this way will the Israeli armed forces be able to better perform their duties and make greater contributions to the country's peace and security.
