Israeli army disciplines soldiers for actions during 2021 Gaza war

Israel’s army announced Friday that it has disciplined five officers, but would not file criminal charges for their actions during Israel’s 2021 war in the Gaza Strip – a conflict in which human rights advocates say Israel committed war crimes.
The soldiers, who received army reprimands for their actions, did not obey standard procedures when striking Gaza, the army statement said. It did not say when the incidents took place, what occurred or whether they involved civilian deaths.
Israel’s war with Gaza – the fourth since the militant group Hamas seized control of the region in 2007 – left over 250 Palestinians dead, while 13 people were killed in Israel.
Israeli aircraft struck hundreds of targets in Gaza, and Hamas launched over 4,000 rockets at Israel.
