Israel’s The Jerusalem Post reported that the occupation army wants to get closer to a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, believing there is not much that can be achieved militarily and is frustrated by the daily losses of soldiers.
According to the report, 30 soldiers from the reserve paratroopers company attached to the regular paratrooper brigade received an order to prepare for an operation in Rafah. It explained that the soldiers refused orders to prepare and informed their commanders that they would not join their unit because “they are no longer capable of doing so.”
