More than 100 Israeli soldiers have threatened to stop fighting in Gaza if the government does not seek a hostage release deal, an Israeli newspaper report has claimed.
The group of 130 troops warned that Benjamin Netanyahu had 'crossed a red line' and that continuing the war will 'endanger lives', according to Haaretz.
It comes as the Israeli Prime Minister vowed to keep fighting until his country secures a 'total victory' over Hamas and the return of all the captives.
The troops are understood to have written in a letter to cabinet ministers and the IDF's chief of staff: 'Many hostages have been killed by IDF strikes, many more than those who have been rescued in military operations to save them.'
'If the government does not change course immediately and work towards securing a deal to bring the hostages home, we will not be able to continue serving,' they continued.
'For some of us, the red line has already been crossed, and for others, it is rapidly approaching: the day when, with broken hearts, we will stop reporting for service.'
The group of 130 IDF soldiers includes both regular and reserve troops, some of whom have served in Israel's war on Gaza since last year's October 7 attacks.
It comes as a large-scale Israeli operation in northern Gaza has killed dozens of people and threatens to shut down three hospitals, Palestinian officials and residents said.

Wow. 100
zzzz
Idiots. If Hamas wanted a deal, they would propose one. So far, hostages are off the table... most likely because they are already dead.
True. Also bear in mind that many IDF soldiers are Israeli-citizens who are non-Jewish.
So tired of these brain dead leftists. There are no deals with Hamas. Hamas illustrated that by braking the truce in for on 10/6 and by failing to abide by the terms of the first hostage release truce. Just because you want something doesn’t make it possible. Netanyahu is following the only path open to him to save Israel, save Israelis now & in future. That is the only way that the hostages may possibly be rescued. Instead of aiding Hamas with propaganda the soldiers and other protestors should fight & support their Country.
130 out of how many thousands?..............
Also referred to as .... cowards.
I wonder what the 300 murdered Israeli soldiers would say to these 100 traitors.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO—What is the punishment for desertion in the IDF???
Someone needs to place an order for 100 coffins.
What are their names?
Why do you assume these soldiers are non-Jewish?
I don't about "many," but surely most IDF soldiers are Jewish. And these IDF soldiers are expressing concern for Jewish hostages.
Jane and john would be proud
Out of at least 50,000 boots inside gaza.
Never mind the hundreds of thousands in the supply chain tail.
Harris has 130 Israeli supporters.
... and in the military, there are serious penalties for cowards who refuse to follow orders ...
Are there enough non-Jewish soldiers in the IDF, including Muslims, for there to be enough for 100 of them to answer in this article's survey that the IDF has done too much fighting in Gaza? No doubt. Perhaps in my earlier post I shouldn't have said "many" so that it would be misinterpreted as majority. What I meant is that, if only 100 IDF soldiers are saying that they're doing too much in Gaza, that's a tiny portion of the total IDF soldiers and no duh that some would say that since the IDF includes non-Jewish soldiers. https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/meet-muslim-arab-and-bedouin-soldiers-of-israels-army-13343772.html
Love that movie and that scene.
>> More than 100 Israeli soldiers have threatened to stop fighting in Gaza
Fine. Court-martial them and stick them in a fenced camp... in Gaza.
What the heck, don’t even provide guards. Just chain them to the fence and let the wild animals take care of it.
Meanwhile, how many remain in the IDF, obedient and loyal to the Israeli cause? At least a couple hundred maybe?
