Recently, the Israeli 98th Parachute Division commanded three brigade combat teams to launch another offensive against Jabaliya, which had already been declared "victorious", but was met with resolute resistance from local Hamas forces, and the tanks and armored vehicles suffered heavy losses again.
The tank crews of the 82nd Battalion of the 7th Armored Brigade of the Israeli Army were extremely nervous and directly engaged in a big deal - shelling the front headquarters led by the deputy commander of the 202nd Battalion of the 35th Parachute Brigade in coordinated operations.
The 82nd Tank Battalion is a unit of the 7th Armored Brigade of the Israeli Army that remained on the Northern Front, and it seems from the obituary that the brigade did not participate in the previous offensive operations in Gaza, because most of the other armored units of the Israeli Army suffered a lot of losses, so the battalion was brought over this time.
However, in the face of the indiscriminate flying of Jabaliya's rockets, the tank crew of the battalion was extremely nervous, and after seeing the muzzle of the gun sticking out of the window of the floor where the front-line headquarters was located, they judged it to be Hamas, and directly fired two shots at it, blowing up more than a dozen people.
At present, the IDF has "approved death" of five people, one of whom is a captain officer; It is also claimed that seven people were injured, three of them seriously.
What is even more interesting is that the Israeli troops who were killed and wounded were still the so-called ultra-Orthodox Jewish (Haredi) troops.
It is well known that Israel has a so-called all-for-all system, with the exception of Arabs and Haredi in the country, so there are relatively few soldiers in the Israeli army.
Since the scope of conscription has been greatly reduced since the removal of these two categories of people has caught up with the large-scale operations of the Gaza War, there has been a big problem in the supply of Israeli troops. In particular, the issue of conscription around the Haredi people has become a major explosion in Israeli politics.
According to the normal conscription ratio, 13,000 Haredi should serve each year, but before October 7, 2023, there were only more than 1,000 Haredi soldiers in the entire Israeli army, and only more than 2,000 will join the army after that.
Considering the size of the Haredi of more than 1.2 million, 3,000 soldiers was too small, which led to strong resentment among the secular Israelis.
But the main body of the Haredi people is also very hard, that is, they are not soldiers, and some even burn Israeli flags and military uniforms in protest; And the identity status of the small group of people who serve in the military is also extremely sensitive.
At such a juncture, it was the tanks of his own army that "mistakenly hit" the already very small Haredi troops in the Israeli army, which really makes people have to think about it.
In particular, the information that has been revealed so far shows that the Israeli tanks knew that their paratroopers were stationed in the front, and the reason for the accidental attack still needs to be further investigated.
(The above are all pictures casually sent from the Israeli army's war report in one day, which shows that the Israeli army likes to stand by the window; It is also common to pestle the muzzle of the gun, and there are often large groups of people gathering in the window)
Moreover, the reason given by the Israeli army's tank units for "seeing the muzzle of the gun sticking out, so firing the cannon" may not be easy to explain at the military level.
Because Hamas's troops are not poorly trained, they will not make the low-level mistake of sticking their guns out in a large number of videos; On the contrary, the quality of the training of the Israeli army is very poor, not to mention sticking out the muzzle of the gun, and there are many famous scenes where Hamas is specially engaged in a live target for Hamas to fight.
In this case, an experienced Israeli tank unit should know that it is actually its own unit that sticks out of the muzzle.
So behind this wave of "misattacks", it may not be so simple.
But in any case, the tank did kill his own family, and we are also quite puzzled, why does the Israeli army keep doing this kind of thing?
At the beginning of the war, they bombed their own people; In the midst of the war, they bombed their own captives; Now that he claims to have finished fighting, he went back to fight, and as a result, he beat all his active troops.
It is indeed difficult to avoid accidental attacks in the war, but the Israeli army's accidental attacks are too frequent, and many heavy casualties are caused by themselves, which is really hard to say.
