Israeli Soldiers Detail Expansion of Gaza Buffer Zone Amid Conflict

Recent reports have shed light on the actions of Israeli soldiers in Gaza, detailing the expansion of a buffer zone along the border. According to testimonies collected by Reuters, soldiers described their operations as part of a 'clearance' to establish a 'kill zone' at Gaza's edge. This development comes as Israel reportedly controls 50% of Gaza, squeezing Palestinian populations into increasingly smaller areas.

The expansion of the buffer zone involved razing structures and blowing up homes, as confessed by soldiers in interviews with various media outlets. These actions have been part of a broader military strategy that has seen significant civilian impact, with reports of women and children among the casualties. The soldiers' confessions reveal a shift in their initial motivations, with some expressing that their mission turned from seeking revenge to confronting the reality of innocent victims.

These developments highlight the ongoing conflict's toll on both the military personnel involved and the civilian population of Gaza, raising questions about the future of the region and the humanitarian implications of such military strategies.
