The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on Sunday that the Israeli army recruits African asylum seekers for military service in Gaza. In exchange, they offer these individuals the promise of permanent residency in Israel.
The army also tries to lure recruits with salaries equal to those of Israeli soldiers. Some of these African recruits have already taken part in key operations in Gaza.
Since the war began on October 7, Israeli forces have lost more than 621 soldiers, and over 3,500 have been injured, according to the latest figures.

In Gaza, health authorities report at least 41,182 Palestinian deaths. The conflict has displaced around 90% of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents and caused extensive destruction.
Attempts to end the war have failed, with both Israel and Hamas blaming each other for derailing negotiations mediated by the U.S., Egypt, and Qatar.
