The Israeli army ordered its troops to kill any males they encountered in Gaza, including the unarmed and the elderly, during the genocide of Palestinians that began in 2023, according to a 7 May investigative report aired on Israel’s Channel 13.

“A man, no matter what age, don’t play games with it; kill immediately,” one soldier said he was told by his commanders. “They even told us that if it’s a woman or a child, use your judgment, because things happen,” he added, speaking anonymously.

His testimony was given to Iris Haim, the mother of an Israeli soldier taken captive by Hamas on 7 October 2023.

Yotam Haim was killed by Israeli forces in Gaza after approaching their positions during an attempt to escape alongside two other captives in December 2023.
