Testimonies from Israeli reserve soldiers involved in the genocidal war on Gaza divulged that they were ordered to kill anyone approaching the so-called "yellow line," and some troops took "pleasure" in killing Palestinians.
The shocking testimonies appeared in a report by The Associated Press, based on the accounts of three Israeli soldiers who requested anonymity.
The soldiers participated in military operations in various parts of Gaza between October 2025 and January 2026 before being discharged. They stated that their motivation for speaking out was their "anger and sadness at what they witnessed."
The soldiers highlight field practices that raised questions about the rules of engagement during the cease-fire, which the soldiers considered a "joke."
They spoke of targeting individuals without verifying their identities and described the atmosphere "like a jungle." They asserted that some forces treated killings as routine, and some even seemed to take pleasure in killing Palestinians.
