Soldier Arrested for Killing a Nukhba Terrorist

A discharged IDF soldier in his twenties, who served in the Kafir Brigade in the Gaza Strip, was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly murdering a Nukhba terrorist on October 7th and brought to the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, where the police requested an extension of his arrest, Channel 12 reported.

The suspect argued in his defense, “On October 7, my friends and I went down south. We saw a fierce battle that was going on between the Police Special Force fighters and the Nukhba terrorists. Unfortunately, some of our fighters were killed. We continued to fight and eliminated the terrorists.”

The police investigator attacked the soldier, saying, “You yourself interrogated a terrorist in the field, then shot him in the head. That’s why you are suspected of murder.”
The soldier replied: “I didn’t murder any terrorist but I eliminated the terrorists who shot at us.”

The mother of the soldier spoke out at the court. She pointed out how many innocent Israeli lives her son saved by eliminating the terrorist. She said her son is a medic and he went down and saved lives of the wounded soldiers. She said it’s insane that the state of Israel is turning the Nukhba terrorists into martyrs.

The report was later taken down but not before it was quoted by every other media outlet. The police later slapped a gag order on the case and there are likely details that are unknown about the case. Some social media reports said that three soldiers were arrested.

Dozens of protestors gathered outside Wednesday’s hearing to extend the suspect’s remand, shouting “Shame!” and insisting that the young soldier instead deserved a commendation.
