 Yehuda Vach  (military officer) | |

 "Every Palestinian is a terrorist" | |
Yehuda Vach is a Brigadier General in the Israel Defence Force and commands the 252nd Division. He is a settler from Kiryat Arba, possibly the most extreme of all Israel’s West Bank settlements. For many years, Vach headed the IDF officers training school, passing on his extreme views to a new generation of officers, presumably some of whom are now making decisions in Gaza.[1]

Wanton destruction
On 1 January 2025, Mustafa Barghouti posted on X:
- The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that an Israeli army brigade under Yehuda Fach acted as a free lance gang in Gaza destroying hundreds of houses for no reason and aiming at the ethnic cleansing of 250 thousand civilian Palestinians.
- Haaretz also reported that officer Fach brought his brothers who share his extreme fanatic religious beliefs illegally to Gaza to participate in the destruction of Palestinian houses.[2]
Genocidal views
On 18 December 2024, Israel's Haaretz newspaper reported that soldiers in Division 252 had been engaged in arbitrary killings and rampant lawlessness in Gaza's Netzarim Corridor. One of Vach's officers recounted how, after Hamas’ military leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in October, Vach held an official meeting to determine what to do with his body. He wanted to strip Sinwar’s corpse naked, put it in a public square, dismember it and pour sewage over the remains.
In an address to soldiers, Vach is reported to have echoed a genocidal view widely shared in Israel, that "there are no innocents in Gaza”. Even Israel’s supposedly liberal President Isaac Herzog has said as much.
But according to one officer, Vach has made this view an “operational doctrine”. Vach’s view of Palestinians is that “everyone's a terrorist". And that means, given Israel’s current, explicit aims in Gaza, everyone must be killed.[3]
Commander kills kids
On 24 December 2024, Francesca Albanese posted on X:
- "Stories like the Israeli commander breaking the bones of a 4-year-old Palestinian child with bare hands, are a confirmation that not only the Israeli army is ROTTEN to the core, but so are all governments that allow these sickening crimes to be normalized."[4]
- "The encounter with such dangerous attitudes, which has become more normal in our society, was traumatic for me ... I discharged myself from reserve duty with a psychiatrist's help," said a female reservist who served at the Sde Teiman detention facility.[5]
