The actions of the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip have sparked widespread concern and controversy. Most notably, the Israeli military mistakenly killed three detained Israeli personnel. This incident triggered a purge of military discipline within the Israeli army, and Israeli spokesman Hagari admitted this grave mistake.
The three people who were mistakenly killed had slogans such as "Help, three hostages" and "SOS", but the Israeli soldiers mistook them for armed men, leading to the tragedy. The IDF took full responsibility for the incident and said it would make every effort to prevent a similar incident from happening again.
In addition, the misconduct of some Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip has sparked public outrage and condemnation. It has been shown that Israeli soldiers smashed toy stores and burned local people's daily necessities, which seriously violated the values of the IDF.
These actions have not only been widely disseminated on social ** platforms, but have also led to strong condemnation from the international community. At the same time, the Israeli military also discovered large underground tunnels in Hamas. The four-kilometre-long tunnel, equipped with electrical facilities and blast doors, demonstrates the scale of Hamas's military activities in the Gaza Strip.
In addition, the Israeli military discovered some 30 tunnel shafts during military operations in the Gaza Strip and destroyed a number of military installations. In the face of condemnation and pressure from the international community, Israel is faced with the challenge of how to respond to the current situation.
The United Kingdom, Germany and France jointly called for a "sustainable ceasefire" in the Gaza Strip and stressed the need to respect international humanitarian law. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will also discuss with the Israeli leadership how to launch a new phase of the war to reduce the scale of the war in the Gaza Strip and instead use elite forces to deliver precision strikes against Hamas.
Against this backdrop, Israel needs to think carefully about how to balance military action with pressure from the international community, while ensuring that the strike against Hamas achieves substantive results. It is only through careful military action and cooperation with the international community that Israel can find a way out of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and achieve long-term peace and stability.
