There has been a series of recent acts of discord among Israeli soldiers fighting the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip. For example, the Israeli army confirmed on the 15th that three detained Israelis had been mistakenly killed during the morning fighting in the northern Gaza Strip. The incident caused an uproar in Israel, and demonstrations even broke out in Tel Aviv and other places, demanding the swift and safe release of other detained Israeli personnel. In the face of pressure, the Israeli army had to publicly admit its mistakes on the 16th and announced that it would rectify military discipline to curb the occurrence of similar incidents.
After a preliminary investigation by the Israeli army, they found that the soldiers were fighting fiercely with Palestinian militants, and suddenly, three shirtless men came out, armed with wooden sticks wrapped in white cloths. Israeli soldiers judged them to be Pakistani militants and opened fire, killing two and wounding another before fleeing back into a building. Sadly, however, the wounded man came out again shortly after, shouting "help" in Hebrew, only to be shot and killed again by Israeli soldiers. Although the Israeli army initially raised doubts about the identities of the three dead during the autopsy, it was eventually determined that they were Israelis in custody.
The Israeli army condemned the soldiers' behaviour and pointed out that it violated military discipline, such as not shooting at detainees and surrendering under white flags. Commenting on the incident, IDF Chief of Staff Hezi Al-Halevi said: "The three detained Israelis survived a hellish ordeal and walked towards the Israeli soldiers, only to be killed by our troops. He said that as the Israeli army fighting in the Gaza Strip, the most hopeful thing is to succeed in rescuing all the detainees, but unfortunately they have not been able to achieve this goal.
In order to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents, the Israeli army said in a statement on the 16th that it would take a series of measures, including adding a senior commander to the battlefield to make decisions, refining and updating the shooting guidelines, etc. The purpose of these measures is to ensure that Israeli soldiers are able to comply with the rules during the fighting and that there is no longer any confusion in military discipline. At the same time, the Israeli army also confirmed a number of misdeeds by soldiers during military operations in the Gaza Strip, such as smashing shops and burning people's goods, which Israeli spokesman Daniel Hagari condemned and said that in any case, these actions are inconsistent with the values of the IDF.
The incident of the Israeli soldiers manslaughtering the detained Israelis has aroused widespread concern and indignation, and the ** photographed by witnesses is also heartbreaking. The misconduct of the soldiers has had a devastating negative impact on Israel and the international community, not only tarnishing the image of the IDF but also adding additional destabilizing factors to the tensions between Israel and Palestine.
The occurrence of the Israeli manslaughter is not only an isolated case, but also reflects the urgency and necessity of rectifying the military discipline of the Israeli army. Military discipline is an important law for maintaining the norms of behavior of combat soldiers, which can ensure the unified command of the army and the enhancement of combat effectiveness, and at the same time protect the security and rights and interests of both the military and the people. The Israeli army has been forced to rectify military discipline and re-examine and strengthen the training and management of soldiers in order to enhance soldiers' discipline, sense of responsibility, and professional ethics so that they can better accomplish their combat missions.
The importance of the Israeli army's discipline also lies in enhancing the image and international reputation of the IDF as a whole. Israel's military actions have been particularly high-profile and judged as a regional country that is often in a tense situation. How to ensure that the army's actions comply with the norms of international human rights law and international humanitarian law has become an urgent issue for the Israeli army. It is only through discipline and strict monitoring of the conduct of soldiers that it is possible to ensure that the IDF's dominant position in the conflict is not lost and that it can win the support and understanding of the international community.
In the context of the IDF's discipline rectification, there is a need for a comprehensive review and improvement of the management of the army and soldiers. First of all, strengthen the training and education of soldiers, improve their discipline and professional ethics. Soldiers should know exactly what is lawful and what is not allowed, so that they can make the right decisions in the face of an emergency. In addition, emphasis should be placed on emphasizing the importance of human rights, humanity and international norms in training in order to raise the awareness and quality of soldiers.
Second, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision and management of soldiers' behavior. By strengthening the internal management mechanism and establishing an effective supervision system, the behavior of soldiers can be monitored in real time, and misconduct can be detected and corrected in a timely manner. At the same time, strengthen training and dissemination of international human rights law and international humanitarian law in the actions of soldiers, so that soldiers understand that compliance with the rules is essential for their own interests and those of the military.
Finally, it is necessary to intensify the punishment for violations of military discipline. For those soldiers who violate military discipline, harm civilians, or cause adverse consequences, the Israeli army should adopt strict systems and punishment measures to maintain the seriousness and impartiality of combat discipline, so as to serve as a warning and deterrent.
The importance of military discipline and discipline in the armed forces is self-evident, and it has a direct bearing on the combat effectiveness and fighting style of the armed forces. As an army, if we do not attach importance to and rectify military discipline, we will not be able to maintain combat morale and discipline, nor will we be able to win the war. The incident of the Israeli soldier manslaughtering the detained person reminds us once again that there must not be the slightest slackness or relaxation in the rectification of military discipline, and only by strengthening the rectification of military discipline and improving the quality and sense of responsibility of the soldiers can we avoid the occurrence of similar incidents.
In addition, the importance of the Israeli army's rectification of military discipline also lies in maintaining Israel's image and international reputation. As a regional country that is often in tension, Israel's every move is under the attention of the international community. If the Israeli army behaves inappropriately, it will not only damage Israel's image, but will also lead to distrust and condemnation of Israel by the international community. Therefore, rectifying military discipline and ensuring that the military behaves in accordance with international norms is essential to maintaining Israel's international image and reputation.
Finally, the IDF needs to rectify misconduct in a timely manner through discipline and the development of stricter oversight and management mechanisms. Only by fundamentally solving the problems within the army and strengthening the training and education of soldiers can the combat effectiveness and fighting style of the army be guaranteed and that the IDF will be able to respond effectively to various challenges in the current tense situation.
