IDF soldier describes arbitrary killing of civilians in Gaza
Sunday, 6 July 2025 () An Israeli reservist who served three tours of duty in Gaza has told Sky News in a rare on-camera interview that his unit was often ordered to shoot anyone entering areas soldiers defined as no-go zones, regardless of whether they posed a threat, a practice he says left civilians dead where they fell.
In a chilling display of urban guerrilla warfare, fighters from Saraya Al-Quds—the armed wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad—launched a deadly ambush on Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) troops in Gaza City. RAW surveillance footage shows the moment a Zionist Merkava tank was obliterated by a pre-planted, armor-piercing explosive east of the Al-Tuffah neighborhood. The video also reveals militants advancing into the targeted zone, capturing an Israeli intelligence drone post-blast.

A Hezbollah fighter was killed and four others injured in a deadly Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon's Nabatieh province. The IDF targeted a motorcycle in the Bint Jbeil district, reportedly eliminating Haitham Mohammad Idris, a known Hezbollah member. This marks yet another escalation despite a fragile ceasefire in place since November 27.
Earlier the same day, Israeli forces also dropped stun grenades and opened fire in Ramieh village. Lebanese officials have condemned the strikes as a “flagrant violation” of the truce, while tensions continue to rise over disputed border areas still occupied by Israeli forces.
As ceasefire violations multiply and regional instability grows, the nearly 14-month-long conflict between Israel and Hezbollah shows no sign of slowing. Could this be the beginning of another full-scale war?

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) released footage allegedly showing Hamas fighters taking control of aid containers in Gaza. The IDF accuses Hamas of looting humanitarian supplies meant for civilians. Hamas denies the allegation, claiming its personnel ensure secure aid distribution. The video follows a New York Times report where Israeli officials admitted no proof exists of systematic aid theft. With global pressure mounting—from the U.S. to Europe—the war of narratives over Gaza’s humanitarian crisis continues to intensify.

Israeli reservist Ariel Meir Taman was found dead in a suspected suicide at his home in the Negev, highlighting a deepening mental health crisis among IDF troops. Taman had served in the Military Rabbinate, identifying fallen soldiers—a role reportedly traumatic. Israeli media reports at least 48 soldier suicides since the Gaza war began in October. With over 21 in 2024 alone, the toll is rising. Critics blame the psychological toll of prolonged conflict and call for urgent mental health reforms in the IDF.

Hamas fighters scored another blow to Israeli forces in Gaza, killing two soldiers from the elite Golani Brigade during an operation in Khan Younis. The troops were inside an armored vehicle hit by an explosive. The IDF confirmed the deaths, raising its combat toll to 462 since October 2023. Hamas, reportedly reorganized, is deploying deadly tactics using tunnel-based explosives. Amid rising losses, criticism mounts over Israel’s military strategy, mental health crisis, and the recall of PTSD-affected troops.
