🚨 IDF's ‘Ghost Unit’ commander resigns: the domino effect of resignations has started

Reports have for months shown that the majority of the Israeli army's commanders have been planning to resign after the war out of shame for the 7-October failure.

However, 6 months into this war, with hostages still in Gaza and with an ever weakening Israeli leadership, commanders are jumping out of a sinking ship.

Today, and with immediate effect, Colonel Dvir Hever - the commander of the most elite Multidimensional ‘Ghost’ Unit (Unit ⁠888) still currently fighting in Gaza - has resigned.

The previous commander, Roi Levi, was killed by Hamas on 7 ⁠October.

📑 Gaza: US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan calls reports of mass graves found outside hospitals in Gaza "deeply disturbing."

🌷 Over 140 mass graves, many containing hundreds of bodies, have been documented since October 15, 2023.

Hundreds of bodies have been removed from mass graves in Nasser Hospital and Al-Shifa Medical Complex, a grim page in the record of violations committed by Israeli forces.

The EuroMedHR field teams witnessed the extraction of dozens of victims from mass graves in Al-Shifa and observed the removal of the bodies of handcuffed victims and others injured but denied medical care, who were executed.

It has been documented that some patients' bodies were extracted, with urinary catheters and medical files still attached, from two pits at Al-Shifa.

Most of the recovered bodies have decomposed, some showing signs of having been gnawed on by cats and dogs, as Israeli forces have hindered their extraction over the past few months.

Thousands of destroyed homes in multi-story buildings have also become mass graves, as their residents remain buried, either due to a lack of technical means to remove the rubble or because these buildings are located in areas under Israeli army operations.

Estimates indicate that more than 13,000 Palestinians are either missing under the rubble, dead in random mass graves, forcibly hidden in Israeli prisons and detention centers, or have been killed inside.

🚨 Gaza's largest mass graves after IDF's withdrawal: 344 bodies at Nasser Hospital (April ⁠24), 381 bodies near Shifa Hospital (April ⁠9)

After 3 days of digging, Gaza's Civil Defense has recovered 344 bodies from a mass grave at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, two weeks after the Israeli withdrawal on April ⁠7. (CNN)

IDF had laid siege to and raided the facility in early February. An estimated 700 people are unaccounted for following the army's attack, according to the Gaza gov't media office. (L'Orient)

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said he was “horrified” by reports from both the Nasser and Al-Shifa facilities:

“Given the prevailing climate of impunity, this should include international investigators”, Türk said. “The intentional killing of civilians, detainees, and others who are hors de combat [irretrievably injured] is a war crime.”

Figures did not include people buried within the grounds of Al-Shifa. (CNN)
