Exclusive 🧵 to the [@CIJ_ICJ]
(!): disturbing language
Israeli military commanders and officers calling to “kill civilians”, “kill children”, “starve Gazans to death”, “erase Gaza”, & “spread diseases among civilians”.
«And don’t forget, the population in Gaza isn’t all that innocent or uninvolved»
125. Major Tzuri Ezran, a commander in the 8105 battalion of the 646th brigade upon returning from Shujjaiya “
“We understand that a historic mission has been placed upon us: to WIPE OUT Hamas AND THE GAZA STRIP”.
Sometimes, when you look through binoculars — or just with your own eyes — and see how many more houses are still left in Gaza, you realize (or fail to realize) how many more days of reserve duty likely lie ahead for us in the coming years…

Another round in Gaza.
Once again, we have the privilege of serving the people of Israel.
It’s tough. Very. And at the same time — incredibly strengthening.
To meet the supporters of the soldiers, the soldiers themselves, the commanders — all of whom want just one thing: to fight for their people and to win.
As reservists, we’re less occupied with the news and everything around it.
We move forward in the field and are shaping a new reality together in Shuja’iyya.
Sometimes, when you look through binoculars — or just with your own eyes — and see how many more houses are still left in Gaza, you realize (or fail to realize) how many more days of reserve duty likely lie ahead for us in the coming years…
This has enormous implications: for family, friends, work, studies — and everything else.
But.
We understand that a historic mission has been placed upon us: to destroy Hamas and the Gaza Strip.
I don’t know who will read this post, or whether it will reach the decision-makers — but I have one request for you, Minister of Defense and Prime Minister:
Do not stop!
Don’t take us from our homes for another three grueling months without a clear purpose.
We don’t have time for that.
We must push forward, and forward, and forward — until we reach victory and the hostages. And with God’s help — both will come together.
Every pause in fighting makes things harder for us and gives the enemy time to rest and regroup.
We must not — simply must not — stop.
Hamas is not interested in deals. Hamas wants only one thing: to kill us all.
I’m willing to continue serving our people in this insane intensity for several more years — as long as our children can grow up with real security.
And real security means: Gaza without Hamas. Period.
The IDF is a very strong army.
We took a hard hit on October 7th.
We’ve learned to be humble, to unite, and to fight for our lives.
All that’s left is to decide: to decide to win, without mercy.
Let’s wish for ourselves that we soon see the hostages return.
It must happen alongside the fighting.
We are facing bloodthirsty Nazis — that’s the reality.
And one more request, from everyone: let’s stay united!
You don’t know (or maybe you do…) how incredible the camaraderie is in reserve duty. It’s hard to describe in words. It’s Israel at its best.
The truth must be said:
Most of the people of Israel are united.
The background noise exists, but it’s secondary to the main thing.
The Generation of 1948 in 2025 is a generation of lions — the salt of the earth.
Am Yisrael Chai. Am Yisrael will prevail!
126. Lt Col Dor Yoetz, 605 Battalion Commander
On 31 March 2025 in his very first letter to troops before entering Gaza: “You shall blot out the memory of the Amalek from under the heaven”
+ “I salute you for two challenging years in which you brought pride to the entire nation through blows that the soil of Lebanon and Gaza will not forget for years to come! “
On 29 May 2025 “Khizaa no longer exists. About two weeks ago, we set out to complete the mission of eliminating the terrorist nest known as - the Khirbat Akhzaa neighborhood”

Spare us the theatrics. The Israeli military now claims that Avraham Zarbiv will be “summoned” by his commanders for a so-called clarification of his actions.
This is an outright lie — low-effort propaganda.
Let’s be clear about who these commanders are: Colonels Liron, Daniel, Eli, and his company commander, Major Netanel (a former settler from Gaza)— the very same officers who have been publicly glorifying Zarbiv since the beginning of the war.
There is documented evidence of these commanders sharing, praising and celebrating his videos, calling him a “hero,” and crowning him “the king.” Zarbiv himself couldn’t stop bragging — in a public speech this past May, he spoke openly about the endless praise he received from his chain of command. One of these officers even created a grotesque “Zarbiv Gaza” sticker — a vile slogan for Flatten Gaza.
He’s been honored. Promoted. “By his commanders”
He’s delivered speeches at Givati Brigade ceremonies as a distinguished figure in recent months.
Summonsed for endorsement.
An example of chain of command that hasn’t just committed genocidal war crimes — it’s celebrated them.
Here is his direct commander Netanel
“Film him while he’s doing it”
These are some of the remarks made by his colonels (commanders) regarding the videos he shares, which depict him demolishing homes and making genocidal statements.
Kenigsfield — a name that’s totally Middle Eastern, right? — openly advocates for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza’s residents. He even invents a claim that most Gazans are «Egyptian»
«A suggestion I honestly don’t understand why it hasn’t been implemented:
In Gaza, there are 2 million residents — let’s say half a million households.
Give each of them a million dollars to move to Egypt or Jordan.
Show me one household that would say no.
Of course, the Americans would have to get those countries to agree to take them.
Most of them are of Egyptian origin anyway 🤷♂️”
«And destroy every [fertile bit] of land in Gaza in order for [the hostages] to return[.]»

"Yes[,] I'm in favor of releasing terrorists whom we will later hunt and kill in order for all [the hostages] to come back home. I'll do another 500 days of reserve service and destroy every [fertile bit] of land in Gaza in order for [the hostages] to return[.] I have difficulty sleeping at night knowing they are there, [it's] hard."
