Israeli soldiers speak out on army negligence

The Israeli soldiers, from the Israeli army’s 605th Engineering Battalion, spoke to the public broadcaster KAN, highlighting what they described as “systemic neglect and failure” in their combat equipment.

They reported that their personal weapons, medium machine guns, and Puma armored personnel carriers often malfunction and fail to offer sufficient protection.

Combat gear failures, systemic issues

According to the soldiers, these recurring equipment failures contributed to the fatal incident in Khan Younis, where an improvised explosive device struck their armored vehicle.

The Israeli occupation military confirmed the killings but did not respond to the soldiers’ accusations. KAN characterized the incident as “one of the worst negligence incidents since the war began.”

Deadly Khan Younis ambush and al-Qassam footage

On Wednesday, the al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, released footage showing a double ambush targeting two Israeli armored vehicles in Khan Younis, corroborating the reports of a deadly attack. The footage underscores the ongoing vulnerability of Israeli forces operating in Gaza.

Since "Israel’s" war on Gaza began on October 7, 2023, the Israeli army has reported the deaths of 879 soldiers and injuries to more than 6,000 others.
