Givati Brigade

The Givati Brigade is an IDF regiment that has been involved in several high-profile incidents and potential war crimes.

The Givati Brigade committed the Abu Shusha Massacre in 1948 in which 60 Palestinians were brutally slaughtered, with the rest of the inhabitants forcefully displaced. The same brigade was also involved in storming Al-Shifa Hospital during the 2023 Israel War on Gaza, at which time the hospital housed hundreds of patients, thousands of medical staff and personnel, and around 15,000 displaced refugees of war.

From November 14-16, 2023, the Givati Brigade was one of the many IDF regiments involved in the attack on Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza. The attack severely disrupted medical procedures and resulted in a number of fatalities and casualties without accomplishing the agenda the IDF had originally laid out.
