Freed Israeli-American captive to rejoin army and resume role in Gaza genocide

Former Hamas captive Idan Alexander, a 21-year-old Israeli-American soldier, has announced he will return to the Israeli army to take part in its ongoing genocide on Gaza.

"Next month I will return to Israel and once again wear my [Israeli army] uniform, serving proudly alongside my brothers. My story doesn't end with survival – it continues with service. Until victory," Alexander declared at a Friends of the Israel Defence Forces (FIDF) event in the United States earlier this week.

Alexander, who is also an American citizen said serving Israel is “one of the greatest honors of my life.”

The fundraising event for FIDF, a US based charity that supports Israeli soldiers, will fund emergency medical supplies and mental health treatment for those wounded in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Alexander was freed in May after Hamas said it would release him as a goodwill gesture to advance ceasefire talks and open the way for urgently needed humanitarian aid.
