Freed American Israeli captive, Edan Alexander, announced this week that he hopes to return to his role in the Israeli army, less than six months after being released from the war-battered enclave. "Next month, with God’s help, I will return to Israel, put on the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) uniform again, and serve proudly alongside my brothers. Alexander is not the only former captive that has announced plans to return to the army. Earlier this year, the father of former captive Liri Albag told Israeli media that she would also be returning to serve in the army. The war on Gaza has been determined to be a genocide by leading rights groups including Amnesty International.
