ALBAWABA - A journalist who goes by the name of 'Yisrael Frey' took to X (formerly known as Twitter), stating that the world is a better place after five Israeli soldiers were killed during a recent ambush in Gaza.
'freyisrael1' wrote in Hebrew, "The world is a better place this morning, without 5 young men who participated in one of the most brutal crimes against humanity. Sadly, for the boy in Gaza now being operated on without anesthesia; the girl starving to death and the family huddling in a tent under bombings, this is not enough."
He added, "This is a call to every Israeli mother: do not be the next to receive your son in a coffin as a war criminal. Refuse."

Israel Frey later wrote in another post urging his followers to "choose a side" in the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza, which resulted in the killing of at least 57,000 Palestinians and the injuring of more than 136,600, according to the health ministry in the Strip.
He wrote that Israelis can't "oppose" the war and "be shocked" by what Israel is doing in Gaza simultaneously.
The controversial post on X sparked widespread reactions on the platform, with social media users either siding with the journalist or against him.
In response to his post, A user wrote in the reply section, "You can choose a side: for life and against unnecessary death. You cannot fix an unnecessary death with more unnecessary death. Even criminals can be victims themselves."
In contrast, another wrote under a post by Suppressed News on X, "A powerful and scathing reflection from within Israel — exposing the deep moral fracture this war has created."
The Israeli army acknowledged Tuesday morning that five soldiers were killed and 14 others were injured in an ambush in the northern Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reported.
The incident occurred late Monday, when members of the Palestinian resistance detonated an explosive device inside an armored vehicle carrying Israeli soldiers in Northern Gaza.
The army revealed the names of those soldiers killed in the explosive device attack: Staff Sergeant Meir Shimon, Sergeant Moshe Nissim Frech, Staff Sergeant Noam Aharon Musgadian, Sergeant-Major Benyamin Asulin, and Moshe Shmuel Noll.
