Israel-Palestine war: Israeli veteran, 95, rallies soldiers to 'erase' Palestinian children
Ezra Yachin, who was involved in the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre, tells troops 'these animals can no longer live', referring to Palestinians | Ezra Yachin, 95, is one of more than 300,000 army reservists mobilised by Israel since war broke out with Hamas in Gaza a week ago. ● Yachin won't be involved in combat but instead will serve to "motivate" soldiers, according to recent reports. "Be triumphant and finish them off and don’t leave anyone behind. Erase the memory of them," Yachin said while addressing Israeli troops this week, in a video that has since gone viral. "Erase them, their families, mothers and children. These animals can no longer live."
