TEL AVIV — According to a recent report and videos circulating on social media, it allegedly shows that there are fighters from Ukraine in the ranks of the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF).

A circulated video on social media depicts armed soldiers hiding behind a wall, conversing in Ukrainian. One soldier in the video claims they came to fight to prevent a new "Holocaust," attempting to justify their involvement in the attacks on the Palestinian people, as reported by Jo24.


According to Al-Jazeera’s monitoring and verification unit, it reported that the location where the soldiers appeared is in Gaza, and they were indeed speaking Ukrainian. The Jerusalem News Agency quoted informed sources, mentioning that seven Ukrainian mercenaries were recently killed in the Shuja'iya neighborhood. This area sees significant daily losses in lives and equipment for the occupation forces.

Kyiv denies
A spokesperson for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry stated, "We have not sent any soldiers to the Gaza Strip or any other region of the world." They added that individuals speaking Ukrainian in Gaza might be Israelis of Ukrainian or Slavic origin with no connection to the occupation.


While the IOF announced the death of several soldiers, it notably refrained from disclosing losses among the mercenaries fighting alongside them.

According to estimates and leaks, thousands of French citizens are fighting in the ranks of the occupation forces in Gaza, alongside mercenaries and volunteers from Britain, Germany, and some African countries.


However, South Africa issued a warning last week to its citizens that they could face legal consequences if found to be fighting in Israel’s war on Gaza.
