Former Israeli Chief of Staff Halevi, who just resigned in March this year, confirmed at a community meeting in southern Israel on September 12 that more than 200,000 Palestinians have been killed and injured in Israel's strike on Gaza, and the Israeli army can be said to be "ruthless" in its operation.
According to Halevi, the military actions taken by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip have never been restricted by law. "No one has ever restricted me, and even the Director of the Military Law Office cannot restrict me."

The death and injury number "200,000" that Halevi admits is worth paying attention to. In fact, on the issue of "number of casualties in Gaza", the data given by the Israeli military is far from the data released by the health department in the Gaza Strip. Reports pointed out that what Harlevi said was "200,000 casualties" was similar to the data provided by the health department in the Gaza Strip.
Haleve said in his speech that this was by no means a moderate war,"We were not ruthless from the beginning."Haleve added that no one could limit him, not even the Israeli military law director Yifat Yarusharmi, "because she has no right to restrict me at all."

According to reports, the Director of the Israeli Army Law Office is responsible for legal issues within the Israeli Army and provides legal advice to the army. Israeli human rights lawyer Michael Sfard said Halevi's remarks confirmed that "the Director of the Military Law is just a decoration. Israeli military generals only regard it as a regular consultant, believing that his opinions are only 'for reference only' rather than 'must be implemented'."
It is reported that Halevi's successor and current chief of staff of the IDF, Eyal Zamir, did not hear Yaru Sharmi's warning. It is reported that the IDF issued an evacuation notice to all Palestinian residents in Gaza City, the northern Gaza Strip via social media on the morning of September 9. Prior to this, Yaru Sharmi had warned that issuing an evacuation order at this time would violate the law of war, given the severe humanitarian situation in southern Gaza. Zamir refused to listen to the warning and insisted on his own.
According to CCTV News, on the morning of September 13, Yehaiya Sareya, a military spokesman for the Houthi armed forces in Yemen, said that the Houthi armed forces used a multi-warhead "Palestine 2" hypersonic ballistic missile to attack several sensitive targets in the Tel Aviv region of Israel. The military said that the missile was successfully intercepted.
At the same time, Israel has recently quarreled with European countries Spain and the United Kingdom. It is said that when British Prime Minister Stamer met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog at 10 Downing Street on September 10 local time, the two quarreled over issues such as "Britain is ready to recognize the Palestinian State" and "Israel's military advances military operations in the Gaza Strip." Before that, Israel had diplomatic friction with Spain over the arms embargo issue.
