Over 100 IDF officers who have served in Gaza signed a letter on Saturday addressed to the Security Cabinet saying not to let residents of Gaza return to their homes until the hostages are released.
The letter begins with the reiteration of the two main goals of the IDF in this war: The total destruction of Hamas and the successful release of all of the hostages.
The letter continued, claiming that it would be unfair to allow citizens of Gaza to their homes while there are still hostages that haven’t been returned. The fact that hostages are still in captivity demands the simple equation, “there is no reason for Ahmed to return to his home in Gaza before Ziv and Gali return to their home in Kfar Aza.”
