IDF Hosts R&R Day for Soldiers in Gaza, leading to both praise and controversy

The recent decision to bring combat service support personnel to Gaza for a day of rest and recreation has sparked criticism within the IDF, particularly from officers in the Southern Command. The 162nd Division organized the event, which brought around 50 non-combat soldiers and support personnel from outside Gaza to the Forward Logistics Base near Jabaliya for a day of relaxation and activities.
