Israel used white phosphorus in Gaza (Human Rights Watch), An Israeli air strike on an ambulance convoy has killed 15 people and wounded 60 others (Aljazeera), israeli army killed Palestinian Journalists (Anadolu Agency), Hundreds of Palestinians serving sentences without trial or charge (Washington Post), Children in the israeli military detention system face inhumane treatment and being denied access to a lawyer during interrogations. Every year, hundreds of Palestinian children are detained by israeli authorities. They are the only children in the world who are systematically prosecuted through a military, rather than civilian, justice system (Save the Children), an israeli soldier blew up a house in Gaza to celebrate daughter's birthday (TRT World). The true soldier will never do that.

True soldiers aren't against civilians, babies, womans, hospitals, ambulances, medical staff, journalist, and everyone who protected by international humanitarian law / True soldiers only protect their country and not taking others people land in the name of "promised land for so called as a 'god-choosen people' stuff" / True soldiers are destined to protect their people and not taking part of genocide and ethnic cleansing of other nations / True soldiers are willing to do to sacriface their body and soul and not making propaganda and fake news about their lost in the war / And IDF not qualified to called as a soldiers instead, their just pathetic cowards who dare to murderers innocent civilians publicly

The IDF attacked Gaza brutally. a pregnant woman was shot so she and her fetus died in one shot. they fired white phosphorus which is forbidden to injure people during war. The IDF fired hundreds of missiles at hospitals, neighborhoods, schools and public facilities. they destroyed roads and burial areas with tanks. they have no humanity
