IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir “strongly condemns any statement that casts doubt on the ethical integrity of IDF operations and the morality of its soldiers,” after Yair Golan, leader of the left-wing The Democrats party, said Israel was killing babies in Gaza “as a hobby.”
“The IDF and its soldiers operate against our enemies with loyalty to the values of the IDF, the law, and international law, while uncompromisingly safeguarding the security of the State of Israel and its citizens,” the military says in a statement.
“IDF soldiers operate, and will continue to operate, day and night, on all fronts, with determination and morality, as they always have,” the IDF adds.
