Since then, the call-up order has been extended several times.<\/p>\n<p>Israel has continued its offensive on the Gaza Strip following an attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.<\/p>\n<p>The onslaught has resulted in over 40,600 Palestinian deaths, mostly women and children, and over 93,800 injuries, according to local health authorities.<\/p>\n<p>An ongoing blockade of Gaza has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine, leaving much of the region in ruins.<\/p>\n<p>Israel faces accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which has ordered a halt to military operations in the southern city of Rafah, where over 1 million Palestinians had sought refuge before the area was invaded on May 6.<\/p>\n<p>*Writing by Ahmed Asmar<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aa.com.tr\/en\/middle-east\/15-israeli-soldiers-refuse-to-join-war-on-gaza\/3317240#\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Israeli Soldiers Scared Of Hamas?
