More than 130 Israeli reservists sign letter refusing to fight in Gaza and Lebanon
JERUSALEM — When Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7 last year, reservist Yotam Vilk wasn’t called up for military service – he volunteered to go and fight. Since then, he has spent more than 230 days serving with the Israeli military in Gaza.It has affected every part of his life. And now, he is refusing to serve again.“On October 7, I didn’t hesitate... because my people were murdered and killed and I understood that there was a need to save them, and there is still a need to save them, which the Israeli government doesn’t seem to see as urgent,” he told CNN in a phone interview.After completing his second round of reserve duty in Gaza this summer, he decided he would refuse to go back if he were asked. He believed military action was justified in some cases, but...

Gaza ceasefire talks to resume in coming days
LONDON — Negotiations over a potential Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal are set to resume in Doha in the coming days, officials from the US, Israel and Qatar have said.A spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said an Israeli delegation will travel to Qatar on Sunday.It is not yet clear whether Hamas has agreed to participate in the talks.The US believes the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar last week - seen as one of the group's most extreme figures - may open the door to an agreement, though Hamas has accused Israel of being the primary block to any deal.“With Sinwar gone,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told journalists, “there is a real opportunity to bring home [the hostages] and to accomplish the objective.”Blinken said that objective...

Israeli military has used Palestinians as human shields in Gaza, soldier and former detainees say
JERUSALEM — The Israeli military has forced Palestinians to enter potentially booby-trapped houses and tunnels in Gaza to avoid putting its troops in harm’s way, according to an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier and five former detainees who said they were victims of the practice.The soldier, who said his unit held two Palestinian prisoners for the explicit purpose of using them as human shields to probe dangerous places, said the practice was prevalent among Israeli units in Gaza.“We told them to enter the building before us,” he explained. “If there are any booby traps, they will explode and not us.”It was so common in the Israeli military that it had a name: “mosquito protocol.”The exact scale and scope of the practice by the Israeli military is not known.

Israeli soldiers should refuse orders that may be war crimes, says ex-security adviser
JERUSALEM — As someone who served four Israeli prime ministers and was deputy head of the country’s National Security Council, Eran Etzion’s judgment was trusted at the highest levels of the state.A longstanding critic of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he is also someone whose years of public service earned him widespread respect.But now Etzion, a former soldier himself, is warning that Israel’s military — the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) — might be committing war crimes in northern Gaza. He also suggests that officers and troops should reject illegal orders.“They should refuse. If a soldier or an officer is expected to commit something that might be suspected as a war crime, they must refuse. That's what I would do if I were a soldier. That's what I think any...
