Ten Israeli soldiers have recounted committing war crimes against Palestinian civilians in Gaza during Israel's ongoing conflict. These soldiers described killing unarmed Palestinians and destroying neighborhoods to prevent civilians from returning. One soldier, David, claimed his unit killed many unarmed men and that high-ranking officers told them "the Arabs must be punished" for the land being taken from them.

Another soldier, Yuval Green, recounted orders to "show no mercy" and to kill "all the Arabs" as part of a policy to "wipe out Gaza." Many soldiers treated the killings as a "religious duty" and often referred to the Palestinians they killed as "terrorists" in post-mortem accounts.
