• Sources in Cyprus told me that the officer arrived in Limassol on Wednesday, Nov 13, with his wife, and stayed at a local hotel for three days.

• On Thursday night, a legal complaint was filed against him, supported by substantial evidence of his involvement in war crimes ->

• MFA: Israeli foreign ministry

• The evidence against him is clear and compelling:

- incitement to harm property in Cyprus.
- Incitement to & involvement in acts of genocide.
- Willful destruction and burning of civilian property, including a mosque and a residential home.

🧵Cpt. Avshalom Slock, company K commander in 9th battalion who fought in Gaza for months

“Only way to achieve victory is if there is a complete cutoff of water, electricity, starvation & deprivation to the point they see their people collapsing,.. parents, wives & children” ->

On 3 Dec, and while in Gaza, Israeli officer a commander in company K of the 9th battalion of the 401st brigade writes a long read facebook post as following advocating that there are no innocents in Gaza and calls to starve the population including women, children and elderly as a mean to make them collapse

Full Post:
Maybe it's time to stop with this lie!

Where do we draw the line on who is uninvolved?
Who is considered an innocent civilian?
Where is the boundary?
Only those who hold weapons? Only those who intend to fire (means and intent)? Only those who have already shot?

What about his parents, who encourage and push their son, the ones he calls to boast about killing ten Israelis, and they celebrate with him, urging him to continue and kill more?
What about the doctor or teacher who hid hostages in their homes? What about the doctors at Shifa Hospital and all other hospitals?
What about those who handed over the hostage who managed to escape?
What about those who worked for us in the settlements, who we drove to hospitals, and in return, they informed and guided exactly how the settlement looked, where the security response team was, where the security coordinator lived, and more?

What about the crowds cheering at the sight of bodies and hostages?
What about the crowds kicking the bodies, continuing the slaughter and the harm?
What about all those who came on bicycles, carts, and any possible way just to join in the massacre?

What about the simple understanding that Hamas *is* the people in Gaza? It was elected by them. These are their sons, their brothers, their children. This is essentially the public itself.
They didn’t come from somewhere else; they didn’t seize control of the people there.
They were born there, grew up there, were educated there, and they work in all Hamas frameworks (governmental, civilian, military, etc.).
They *are* Hamas. This is simply the age group that can hold weapons. The rest would do anything to join in the massacre and, indeed, participated in various ways –
encouragement, education, promoting the murderous ideology.
They hid weapons and terror tunnels. Everything is located in schoolyards and hospitals.
These are not small tunnels that no one knows about. These are tunnels that everyone saw, everyone was involved with.
Everyone understood that all resources and hundreds of millions of dollars were directed towards a murder industry rather than education, economy, tourism, and more.
Everyone, everyone was part of the murder industry and the desire to destroy Israel.
And even if there are a few who regret it, our battle is not against individuals; our battle is against a nation – and until we internalize that, we are doomed to fail.

In the simplest terms –
Any attempt to separate Hamas from the population in Gaza will doom the entire war to failure.
There is no way to kill every last Hamasnik (those holding weapons); we will never win that way.
War is not just a battle of weapons versus weapons but a battle of consciousness, ideology, national perspective, economy, fuel, food, and ammunition supply. It's a battle of a civilian society that manages to support and sustain the fight.

The only way we can achieve victory is if there is a complete cutoff of water and electricity, bringing hunger and deprivation to the point where the leadership sees their entire people collapsing, even to the extent that their fighters themselves will see their parents, wives, and children collapsing—their entire people collapsing.
Any other way is destined for failure—they will always paint themselves as victors, as the saviors of the people.
Only if the people themselves collapse, then, maybe, just maybe, they will agree to surrender…

On 25 January, a month after he advocated the starvation of Gaza residents he joins the 9th order which spearheaded the moves to block humanitarian aid into Gaza (which they succeeded several times to do) and were involved in burning aid trucks and destroying others in the West Bank

On 26 January:

Continuing under Tzav 9, so where are you this morning? Even if you can't join physically, it's important to join in spirit and share!
We do not allow fuel, food, and water to enter the Gaza Strip as long as our hostages are being held inside!
We do not fuel Hamas!
We do not allow Hamas to continue ruling the population, distributing food and water, thereby reinforcing its image as the ruler of the Strip!
Victory is not a dirty word!
Decisiveness is not a dirty word!
We continue forward until victory!

On 25 January

Yesterday, something incredible happened! Truly!
Good citizens fought and blocked the Kerem Shalom crossing!
Trucks carrying supplies did not enter Gaza!
Supplies didn’t go to Hamas!
We are not fueling the enemy!
We have the power to make an impact! We have the power to win!
Following this success, thousands are joining the different WhatsApp groups, staying updated, and coming to block!
