Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Military Israel announced Yitzhar Hofman, a 36-year-old platoon commander in the Sheldag Unit, was killed in combat in the north Palestine Gaza Strip on Wednesday (31/1).
The Sheldag unit is a special forces unit under the Israeli air force. This unit is considered one of the most elite troops in the Zionist military.
Israeli military forces continue to launch attacks in the Gaza Strip and kill tens of thousands of Palestinians in a war that is almost entering its fourth month.
Quoted Middle East Eye, Recently, Israel has intensified attacks in southern Gaza because it claims to have eradicated the Hamas group in the north.
However, Wednesday’s attack shows that Hamas still exists there and is carrying out significant attacks against Israel.
Even though Israel has received a warning from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to do everything it can to prevent genocide.
In its ruling, the ICJ stated that Israel must ensure that its troops do not commit genocide and also do not destroy evidence related to genocide.
If it is proven that someone provoked genocide, Israel is obliged to punish that party. Apart from that, Israel is also required to open humanitarian access to distribute aid to Gaza residents.
Palestinians in Gaza are currently being hit by a serious humanitarian crisis, especially in the midst of the cold and rainy season.
Conditions in refugee camps are worrying because they are filled with puddles and there is no clean water and food.
There is also no access to health care to treat people injured as a result of the war because most hospitals are almost collapsed.
As of Friday (2/2), more than 27 thousand Palestinians had died as a result of Israel’s brutal aggression against the Gaza Strip which had been going on since 7 October. More than 70 percent of the victims killed were children and women.
