Netzarim Corridor Commander Led Campaign To ‘halt Aid, Flatten, Conquer’ Gaza: Report
Israeli army commanders operating in the land corridor bisecting Gaza have established ‘extermination zones’ where any Palestinian is shot and later labeled a ‘terrorist’
An Israeli army commander is facing criticism for endangering his soldier’s lives in a frantic effort to conquer territory in Gaza, ethnically cleanse 250,000 Palestinians from north of the strip, and allowing his brother to operate a rogue army unit to demolish as many Palestinian homes as possible, an investigation by Haaretz revealed on 1 January.
Israeli soldiers say that Brig. Gen. Yehuda Vach, the commander of the 252nd division, is responsible for the deaths of eight soldiers during four months of combat in the Netzarim corridor in central Gaza.
When Vach ordered his troops to enter Zeitoun, a southern neighborhood of Gaza City, in August, he was constantly pushing to get as far north as possible without taking precautions to ensure their safety from attacks by Hamas fighters.
“He sent the soldiers in there without the necessary preparations on the ground and without ensuring that there were no bombs there,” one soldier said. “A supply convoy either drove over a bomb or they were hit by an anti-tank missile.” Other soldiers were killed in clashes with the Palestinian resistance.
In early December, Vach complained to the division’s top officers that “We didn’t achieve our goal” to forcibly displace some 250,000 Palestinian residents in northern Gaza to areas south of Netzarim.
Vach also told his officers that his goal was to conquer land to punish Palestinians for Hamas’ Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
“Only by losing land will the Palestinians learn the necessary lesson from the massacre Hamas perpetrated in southern Israel on October 7,” Vach told his officers.
In another instance, Vach insisted that his soldiers block the entrance of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
“Not one truck should enter,” an officer told Haaretz regarding Vach’s comments.
Vach also stated that he was seeking to “flatten” as much of Gaza as possible and that “there are no innocents in Gaza.”…
Vach also allowed his brother, Col. (res.) Golan Vach, to establish a force to demolish as many Palestinian homes as possible.
“Golan established a small force called Pladot Heavy Engineering Equipment,” a senior officer told Haaretz. “It was a team of soldiers and civilians who look like hilltop youths. The force’s sole objective was to demolish Gaza, to flatten it” so that no Palestinians could return to live there.
“They’d get a particular strip in the Netzarim corridor and flatten every building in it,” said one soldier. “The mission was to go house-to-house and ensure that everything there was ready for flattening.”
Golan Vach played a key role in helping Israel cover up the killing of its soldiers and civilians, per the Hannibal Directive, on 7 October 2023. He also fabricated stories claiming that Hamas fighters burned Israeli babies.
A previous Haaretz investigation revealed that members of Division 252 had turned the areas around the Netzarim Corridor into a free-fire zone to kill Palestinian civilians.
The soldiers were under strict orders to “shoot anyone” they spotted approaching the “killing area.”
