Mercenaries within the ranks of the occupying army
Throughout the Israeli war on Gaza, the participation of foreign mercenaries alongside the occupying forces in Gaza has been exposed.
The Spanish newspaper “El Mundo” previously revealed that the Israeli occupying army recruited European mercenaries to fight in the Gaza Strip since October 7th of last year.
One of the Spanish mercenaries, Pedro Diaz Flores, confirmed to the newspaper that he is fighting in the Gaza Strip under orders from the occupying army.
He indicated that a private military company supporting Israel recruited him to fight within the ranks of the occupying army, mentioning that he received a phone call from a “former comrade-in-arms” informing him that “the Israelis are looking for people with a good military record.”
Flores, who fought against Russian forces in the war in Ukraine, explained that the occupying army pays hefty sums and provides advanced equipment to them.
