El Mundo, a major Spanish daily, claimed that Israel hired mercenaries to kill Palestinians, which was supported by the testimony of Pedro Diaz Flores, who was in the ranks of Ukraine’s notorious neo-Nazi Azov Battalion.
Following Hamas’ unexpected strikes in southern Israel on October 7, the IDF called up 360,000 reservists. 30,000–40,000 Hamas fighters, who are locked up in the tunnels and city ruins of Gaza in preparation for ground attacks, are facing off against them.
In the midst of the Gaza conflict, foreign fighters have poured into Israel to support the Israeli Defence Forces. This is supported by a shocking piece that was released late last week in a significant Spanish newspaper and that included testimony from a notorious merc.
“WE ARE IN CHARGE OF SECURITY AT CHECKPOINTS AND ACCESS CONTROL POINTS AT THE BORDER BETWEEN GAZA AND JORDAN. THERE ARE MANY PMCS [PRIVATE MILITARY CONTRACTORS, ED.] HERE AND THEY SHARE IN THE WORK. TYPICALLY, THEY HAVE GUARDED BORDER TERMINALS BETWEEN ELIAT AND AQABA,” PEDRO DIAZ FLORES, A SPANISH NATIONAL WHO PREVIOUSLY FOUGHT AS A MERC IN THE RANKS OF UKRAINE’S NOTORIOUS NEO-NAZI AZOV BATTALION, TOLD THE PAPER.
“They pay very well, they offer good equipment and the work is calm,” Flores added, saying he came to Israel for the money. “It’s 3,900 euros per week, not counting additional missions.”
