Angry Israeli soldiers blast Netanyahu’s son Yair in Miami beach, say ‘we are in the line of fire’

Israeli soldiers expressed their dissatisfaction towards the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is spending his vacation on one of the most beautiful beaches in the American city of Miami at a time when the Israeli army is preparing for a ground incursion into the Gaza Strip.

The soldiers accused Benjamin Netanyahu's government of "putting them in the line of fire," and directed the criticism at Netanyahu, whose children enjoy "sunshine and fresh air in Miami, far from wars and their horrors."

Military experts believe that the ground incursion that Israel is preparing to carry out into the Gaza Strip will inflict heavy losses on the ranks of the Israeli army, which received a heavy blow after the lightning attack launched by Hamas at the end of the first week of this month, when it penetrated into more than 20 settlements around the Gaza Strip.

More than 1,400 Israelis were killed and more than 220 hostages were taken into the Gaza Strip.

Around 360,000 reserve soldiers were called to the Israeli army, an unprecedented number, as a number of them returned to Israel.

Some volunteer soldiers, who refused to reveal their names for security reasons, told the British newspaper The Times: “Netanyahu’s son, Yair, is enjoying his life on the American beaches of Miami, while we are in the line of fire.”

Another soldier, on behalf of his colleagues, told the newspaper: “We are the ones who leave our families, friends, and children behind. We leave our jobs so that the Prime Minister’s children can enjoy the sunshine on the beach.”

Another volunteer continued to describe the suffering of soldiers in the Israeli army, saying: “I left America to volunteer in the army and they threw us in the line of fire. I have a family and a job there. I left them behind to come and the prime minister’s son is enjoying the sea water. Why is he not in Israel?”

Yair, the son of the Israeli Prime Minister, had immigrated to the United States, after sparking much controversy with his statements on social media, when he described the demonstrators against his father’s policies as a group of terrorists.

On Tuesday, the Palestinian Health Ministry announced an increase in the number of casualties in the Gaza Strip as a result of the Israeli bombing.

At least 5,791 people were killed and more than 18,000 were injured in the Gaza Strip.
Military service is compulsory for the majority of Israelis when they reach 18 years old, and men must serve 32 months and women 24 months.

After that, most of them can be called up to reserve units until the age of 40, or even older, in the event of a national emergency, and fight alongside regular forces in times of war.

The Israeli army continues its raids on the Gaza Strip for the eighteenth day in a row, leaving thousands of Palestinians dead and wounded, while those who survived the bombing suffer catastrophic humanitarian conditions, in light of the continuing siege and the lack of humanitarian aid and urgent supplies.
