IDF turns humanitarian sites in Gaza into 'Squid Game' killing fields, report says
One soldier told Haaretz: 'I’m not aware of a single instance of return fire. There's no enemy, no weapons.'
Haaretz, the Israeli paper, interviewed IDF soldiers who worked at “humanitarian” sites across Gaza who described a horror show that involves Israeli troops making a game out of picking off starving Palestinians desperate enough for food to risk severe injury or death.
One soldier likened the situation on the ground to the “Red Light, Green Light” game.
“We open fire early in the morning if someone tries to get in line from a few hundred meters away, and sometimes we just charge at them from close range. But there's no danger to the forces. He told the paper, “I’m not aware of a single instance of return fire. There's no enemy, no weapons.”
The paper said conversations with these troops “reveal that commanders ordered troops to shoot at crowds to drive them away or disperse them, even though it was clear they posed no threat.”
Another soldier told the paper, “You know it’s not right. You feel it’s not right — that the commanders here are taking the law into their own hands. But Gaza is a parallel universe. You move on quickly. The truth is, most people don’t even stop to think about it.”

“Red Light, Green Light” was portrayed in Netflix’s “Squid Games,” in a twisted game that included live rounds.
One Palestinian, 40, in Gaza City told Middle East Eye about his experience trying to get food at a GHF site: “I turned my head and saw soldiers, maybe 10 or 20 metres away. They were talking to each other, using their phones, and filming us. Some were aiming weapons at us. I remembered a scene from the South Korean TV show Squid Game, in which killing was entertainment - a game. We were being killed not only by their weapons but also by hunger and humiliation, while they watched us and laughed. I started wondering: were they still filming us? Were they watching this madness, seeing how some people overpowered others, while the weakest got nothing? We left the area just as the boxes had emptied.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected Haaretz’s report and called the claims a “blood libel.”
More than 500 Palestinians have been killed at U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) sites in southern Gaza since 27 May, and thousands have been injured. The UN and NGOs said the project was doomed to fail from the beginning.
Rev. Johnnie Moore, an evangelical Christian Zionist who has close ties to U.S. President Donald Trump and Netanyahu, was tapped to lead the GHF, which is the joint American-Israeli effort to go around the UN to distribute food and aid to Palestinians.
Jake Wood, the former head of GHF, resigned, stating that the organization will not be able to carry out the principles of “humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence.”
Critics say the foundation is a “militarized aid scheme” that helps Israel carry out its mission to ethnically cleanse the enclave of Palestinians by forcing them into small areas if they want to eat the bare minimum amount of food.
Tom Fletcher told the Security Council in a note that the “failure to provide urgent therapeutic feeding and health services for children places thousands of lives at immediate risk, and could result in unnecessary and continued loss of life.”
Moore, a member of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, has been vocal in his support for Israel and Trump’s plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians.
He even called the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Netanyahu for war crimes “white-collar antisemitism.”
